Abstract
Years ago Enoch et al. showed a decay in sensitivity in time in the visual field of patients with active optic nerve disease, with the Flashing Repeat Static Test (FRST). Recently, Drance and Heijl found, with a different technique, similar changes in open angle glaucoma patients. In this paper results are presented taken from an additional group of 10 open angle glaucoma patients, examined with the FRST. No significant decrease in sensitivity in time was found. Tentative explanations for the discrepancy in results are provided. It is concluded that functional responses of patients with open angle glaucoma are different from those of patients with optic nerve disease.
