The efficacy of short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) and conventional automated perimetry (CAP) in detecting the progression of glaucomatous visual field loss was compared. After three years, CAP detected progressive visual field damage in three (13.6%) of 22 eyes, while SWAP detected progressive visual field damage in eight (36.6%) of 22 eyes. Thus, SWAP was more efficient than CAP in detecting progressive visual field losses in glaucomatous patients with incipient defects.
