Purpose:
Evaluation of CFF perimetry results in patients with suspected glaucoma.
Material And Methods:
Visual field was measured on Octopus 301 perimeter with option "flicker perimetry". 49 patients (98 eyes) with suspected glaucoma were tested. Standard W/W perimetry revealed glaucomatous visual field defect in one eye, but not in the second eye. Patients with cataract and diabetes were not taken into consideration.
Results:
Defects in CFF perimetry tests were found in 71.4% of cases, but in W/W perimetry test in 50.0% of cases.
Conclusions:
Perimetry CFF is useful for early detection and follow up of glaucoma. Indices MD and LV may be used for those purposes.
