Comparison of visual evoked potentials , automated perimetry nad frequency-doubling perimetry in early detection of glaucomatous visual field loss

The present studa compares frequency-doubling perimetry , automated perimetry and visual evoked potentials for their ability to diagnose early glaucoma. In present study 224 patients of Clinic for Eye Diseases, Clinical Hospital "Sestre milosrdnice" that had diagnosis of open angle glaucoma and glaucomatous visual field loss proven by autoamted static on only one eye were performing all three tests.Visual evoked potentials , automated perimetry and frequency doublin perimetry were performed four times in each patient with six months period in between testing.Significant difference was proven between frequency doubling perimetry yand automated perimetry in favor for FDP in early detection in glaucomatous field loss.There wasno significant difference between FDP and VEP neither between VEP and AP measurements.The results of this study indicate that FDP is significantly better method for early detection of glaucomatous visual field loss than automated static perimetry.
