About Japan Imaging and
Perimetry Society (JIPS)

Greetings from the President

Japan Imaging and Perimetry Society (JIPS) is an academic society which carries out research under various themes in the visual field and imaging, such as in ophthalmology and related regions, from multiple angles. Since the founding of the Japan Perimetric Society, the predecessor of JIPS in 1980, we have carried out basic and clinical research in the visual field for 31 years. Thereafter, due to the re-organization of the specialized study groups in the Japanese Ophthalmological Society, it was resolved to expand further. Thus, the Japanese Perimetry Society was established as a society in 2012 related to the Japanese Ophthalmological Society, and academic activities have been started. Since 2019, with the remarkable advancement of diagnostic imaging technology in recent years, it was renamed the Japan Imaging and Perimetry Society. The Japan Imaging and Perimetry Society closely collaborates with its parent organization, the Imaging and Perimetry Society (IPS). Annual meetings have been held in Japan four times since the first meeting in Tokyo in 1978. Thus, we have been recognized as the leading country in Asia and have been actively involved in international activities.

The most prominent feature of this annual meeting is that addresses the visual field and imaging as the basis of specialization and handles each field in a cross-sectional manner. We are in charge of many specialty fields that encompass a wide variety of research themes such as glaucoma, neuro-ophthalmology, retina, low vision, and visual physiology. We are also actively involved in the early diagnosis of many ophthalmologic disorders, improved clinical monitoring, evaluation of functional and structural changes, and various issues related to QOV and ADL. Specifically, we actively shared information on important social issues such as “Visually impaired certification” and “Car driving and visual field” and communicated with society.

For a thorough evaluation of visual functions and the visual structure in older adults and those with severe myopia, we believe that the role of our society will be further increased at a place where ophthalmology specialists meet and perform comprehensive discussions. Moreover, the membership of this society includes not only physicians but many orthoptists, and we encourage open and honest discussion. Furthermore, we are also open to scientists who are interested in visual physiology, and every year, we organize a seminar on basic visual physiology as a place for communication among basic scientists in visual physiology. Thus, it is our sincere desire that more young physicians, orthoptists, and researchers will actively participate in this society and promote energetic social activities, which will lead to further contributions to society from the visual field and imaging. I would also like to ask for your cooperation and support in the further development of this society.

President
Japan Imaging and Perimetry Society

Aims & Foundation

JIPS aims to promote knowledge of the visual field and the diffusion, standardization, and development of perimetric methods and technology.
Proposed by Dr. Hiroshi Kosaki, Japan Perimetric Society (JPS) was founded on February 3, 1980. The name was changed to Japan Imaging and Perimetry Society (JIPS) on May 11, 2018.

Activities

  • 1. JIPS hosts academic meetings in the visual field at least once a year.
  • 2. Through publications and the media, JIPS contributes to increased public awareness and education in the advancement of care for people with visual field defects in Japan.
  • 3. JIPS carries out activities for the early detection of visual field defects and to promote public welfare.
