Summary: Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of the use of frequency-doubling technology (FDT) perimetry in children and adolescents with glaucoma.
Material and methods: 30 patients with suspected glaucoma aged 12-18 years and 25 normal control subjects aged 13-18 years were enclosed in the study. All participants underwent ophthalmic examination with the measure of the intraocular pressure and gonioscopy, and standard achromatic automated perimetry and FDT perimetry.
Results: 10 (33%) glaucoma patients had visual field defects in FDT perimetry; visual field in automated perimetry was normal.
Conclusions: FDT perimetry have the potential role for the glaucomatous visual field loss detection in children and adolescents. Visual field defects may be detected earlier than in standard perimetry.
 
Key words: glaucoma, frequency doubling perimetry.
