Abstract
The Arden grating test of visual function has been used for mass screening for glaucoma in Western Australia over the past year. A brief description of the test is given. Comparison is made between the Arden grating test scores, tonometry and optic disc cupping. Other eye diseases detected with this method of screening are outlined. An attempt is made to establish the proportions of false positives and negatives using this method.
