Self-consciousness of visual field defects by frequency doubling technology
Katsushima HJapanese Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology 2005; 59: 201-203
Frequency doubling technology (FDT) of screening program C-20-1 was used on 101 eyes of 101 primary open-angle glaucoma patients (mean age : 59.6 years) without noticing their visual field defects. Each patients recorded the locations of the visual field defects just after the examination. Thirty-six patients (35.6%) noticed their visual field defects, and their recordings corresponded to the results of FDT The other 65 patients (64.4%) noticed no abnormality. The frequency of self-consciousness was 10.0% in stage 0 ˜ 1, 16.7% in stage 1, 34.5% in stage 2, 44.4% in stage 3, 43.8% in stage 4, 70.0% in stage 5, according to Aulhorn's classification modified by Greve. FDT was considered to be useful for self-consciousness of visual field defects. LA: Japanese
