A comparison of unweighted and fluctuation-weighted indices (within the central 28 degrees of glaucomatous visual fields measured with the Octopus automated perimeter).
The main visual field indices of Flammer and the analogous ones of Heijl have been compared based on a population of 113 glaucomatous visual fields. It is shown that for the population studied, the differences between the two sets of indices are negligible for Octopus G1 program results and that they may thus be used interchangeably.
