[Flicker perimetry (CFF) in glaucoma diagnosis].
OBJECTIVE
Evaluation of CFF perimetry results in patients with suspected glaucoma.


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.
