Evaluation of changes in the visual field in glaucoma during examination with white and colored stimuli

In a group of 35 eyes with open angle glaucoma the visual field was examined by means of standard white and colored blue-yellow perimetry. The results of the two types of examination of the central visual field were evaluated by statistical analysis and the assessed statistical parameters of the visual field of the investigated eyes with glaucoma were compared again. In the group, a significant difference was found in the mean sensitivity of the retina (MS), mean loss of sensitivity (MD), and loss variance (LV) between white and colored perimetry. The investigated indexes of the visual field in colored perimetry differed significantly compared to standard perimetry, i.e., median sensitivity values were lower and mean loss of sensitivity values were higher. From the results of this investigation it appears that colored perimetry was more sensitive for detecting changes in the visual fields of a group of eyes with open angle glaucoma than conventional white perimetry.LA: Czech
