[Visocontrastometry as one of diagnostic criteria for early detection of glaucoma and evaluation of stabilization of glaucomatous process].
The relationship between contrast-frequency characteristics of the eye, on the one hand, and visual acuity and peripheral field, photosensitivity in the central visual field, ophthalmic tone, and area of the optic disk neuroretinal zonule, on the other, was for the first time evaluated by regression-correlation analysis. Videograms averaged for groups with consideration for glaucoma stage and changes in visual acuity in each group were compared. The sensitivity and specificity of visocontrastometry for early detection of glaucoma and evaluation of stabilization of the glaucomatous process were assessed. Based on the results, the author formulated her suggestions supplementing the classification of primary glaucoma currently used in Russia.
