Abstract
Frequency‐doubling perimetry (FDP) is a new, out‐of‐the‐ordinary, visual field testing method. Its sensitivity and reliability was tested in 16 patients (32 eyes) with ocular hypertension and 21 patients (37 eyes) with early chronic glaucoma. Significant defects were found in almost 10% of hypertensive eyes and in 67.7% of glaucomatous eyes. FDP is an effective and sensitive technique for glaucoma functional loss assessment.Keywords
