چکیده

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of three screening tests in detecting glaucoma in its early stage: the Tendency Oriented Perimetry (TOP) and Frequency Doubling Perimetry (FDP) visual field tests, and the Glaucoma Diagnostic (GDx) nerve fibre layer analyser. Eighteen patients with glaucoma who showed an early defect on HFA c 24-2 and twenty normals underwent the three tests. TOP showed a sensitivity of 94.4% and a specificity of 75%, FDP showed a sensitivity of 72.2% and a specificity of 100%, and GDx a sensitivity of 77.7% and a specificity of 60%.

Ability of scanning laser polarimetry (GDx) to discriminate among early glaucomatous, ocular hypertensive and normal eyes in the Korean population.

We investigated the ability of the GDx-Nerve Fiber Analyzer (NFA) to discriminate between normal and early glaucomatous eyes among Korean individuals by reviewing the medical records of 217 consecutive subjects: 61 early glaucoma patients, 68 ocular hypertensive patients, and 88 normal subjects. GDx parameters were compared using ANOVA. The Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve for eac...
