[The importance of a new compression test in the diagnosis of preglaucoma and initial glaucoma].
A new compression test with an especially constructed mechanic oculopressor allows to make both functional and tonometric measurements during the test. The method was used in 48 eyes of healthy persons and 196 eyes with advanced, initial glaucoma, preglaucoma and ocular hypertension. The results obtained have shown that the test is effective for detection of preglaucoma and ocular hypertension as well as for differential diagnosis of initial glaucoma and ophthalmic hypertension by the analysis of changes of the blind spot area, the time of restoration of its sizes to the initial state and dynamics of annular compression coefficients at the time of the test.
