A sensitivity index F, useful to classify patients with glaucoma simplex.
Using a new method to determine the scotoma pressure by means of an Amsler grid chart and an ophthalmodynamometer in addition to three other parameters (the brachialis blood pressure and the intra-ocular pressure), a sensitivity factor F was calculated, useful to classify patients with visual field defects due to glaucoma simplex.
