An automated flicker perimeter using a personal computer
Fukuhara JJapanese Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology 2002; 56: 461-465
The authors developed an automated flicker perimeter using a personal computer. This measures the flicker sensitivity at 59 points within 30° from the fixation point. They applied it in 256 normal eyes and in some with ocular hypertension. The flicker sensitivity declined towards the periphery, and with advanced age. The present method allowed measurement within a short duration, better fixation and less fatigue, and reproducible results. Eyes with ocular hypertension showed decreased flicker sensitivity with precision. The present method provides a rapid and sensitive test for early detection of glaucomatous optic nerve disorders.
