Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of three screening tests in detecting glaucoma in its early stage: the Tendency Oriented Perimetry (TOP) and Frequency Doubling Perimetry ( FDP) visual field tests, and the Glaucoma Diagnostic (GDx) nerve fibre layer analyser. Eighteen patients with glaucoma who showed an early defect on HFA c 24-2 and twenty normals underwent the three tests. TOP showed a sensitivity of 94.4% and a specificity of 75%, FDP showed a sensitivity of 72.2% and a specificity of 100%, and GDx a sensitivity of 77.7% and a specificity of 60%.
