A perimeter performs a kinetic visual field examination on the basis of a response as to whether a subject visually recognizes a displayed stimulus for kinetic visual field examination. The stimulus is displayed a series of times on an inner surface of a visual field dome. An operation is performed in which the subject is made aware of an operating sound of the perimeter while no stimulus is actually displayed. The operation is performed at a predetermined frequency during the display times of the stimulus, and a duration of the operation is determined in accordance with a response time by the subject to the displayed stimulus. The reliability of the kinetic visual field examination is evaluated on the basis of the response of the subject in the performed operation.
