Glaucoma is a chronic optical neuropathy characterized by loss of ganglion cells with the development of specific changes in the optic nerve head (ONH) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL).
Early detection of the disease plays an important role in preventing the development structural abnormalities and irreversible vision loss. Diagnosis of glaucoma is based on assessing the safety of optic nerve structures and visual functions results clinical examination of the optic disc and RNFL are subjective and vary greatly.
In connection with this, research in recent years has been aimed at developing additional objective methods for diagnosing glaucoma. The possibility of using confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, scanning laser perimetry and optical coherence tomography to assess the condition of the optic disc. In order to ensure early detection of visual field defects options are currently being considered replacing standard automated perimetry (SAP) with selective, which includes short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) and perimetry with the illusion of spatial doubling frequencies (frequency-doubling technology perimetry, FDT). The article is an overview modern method for diagnosing glaucoma in the context of their use in clinical practice.
