I have been told that Zeiss and Humphrey are the same as Zeiss produce Humphrey now. The same as used at most hospitals.

The choices I have been given previously are the Zeiss (Humphrey) or Henson 6000. I prefer the Humphrey as this is what I am used to in the Eye Clinic. The Humphrey uses a fixed fixation spot whereas with the Henson the fixation light moves around, supposedly with a prior warning sound. The only time I used this machine I did not hear a noise and I had not had it explained to me that this would happen. Therefore I always choose a location that uses the Zeiss Humphrey. I cannot speak for the accuracy but I think it must help if you are familiar with the machine.
