This study was conducted to determine the sensitivity and specificity of different perimetric algorithms and their combination in short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP), for the detection of early glaucomatous damage. Retinal nerve fiber layer assessment and SWAP were performed in 160 eyes of glaucoma suspects. Perimetric abnormality criteria, based on presence of clusters of points with significant sensitivity losses, showed higher sensitivity in detection of early glaucomatous changes than did criteria based on global visual field indexes.
