The invention relates to a perimetric method for measuring a visual field of an eye, carried out with an ophthalmological device, particularly a perimeter or similar, and means for data processing with a data base, wherein the data base includes data sets of visual fields, wherein a retina of the eye is divided into points (21) that represent the visual field, wherein the points of the retina are exposed to optical stimuli of a defined intensity, wherein a reaction to a stimulus is calculated as a measurement result, wherein at least two predefined points (P12, P16, P38, P52, P55, P65) are measured, wherein the predefined points each lie in anatomically independent nerve fibre regions (11, 12, 13, 14,15, 16) and are in a statistically significant relation to each other, wherein a visual field of the eye is derived from the measurement results and the data sets.
