[Current trends in the development of functional studies in ophthalmology].
The paper details the currently available psychophysical and objective diagnostic methods. Among the recently used improvements, there is enhancement of the capacities of a perimetric analysis, an objective control of fixations during multifocal electroretinography, confocal ophthalmoscopy of the retina, and its enhancement coherent optical tomography. Study of local visual activity, quantitative analysis of metamorphopsias, autofluorescence analysis of retinal pigment, and evoked visual multifocal potentials are regarded as innovations. Future developments of methods for functional studies of the organ of vision may follow several directions: improvement of available methods, development and application of new different methods, and estimation of the advantages of different studies.
