Popis: The distribution of visual field sensitivity was measured as a function of visual angle and expressed in polar coordinates. This procedure provides an accurate impression of the visual field and emphasises visual field sensitivity; additional coefficients are not necessary. As normal controls, 229 eyes of 145 cases were examined. The results of kinetic quantitative perimetry were calculated and three-dimensional visual field representations were plotted by a computer. The normal visual field is larger in the young (subjects from 10 to about 40 years of age). After the fourth decade the field size gradually reduces. The three-dimensional ‘sensitivity loss’ occurs first at the center, then at the peripheral regions. Further, glaucomas were classified into high tension glaucoma (HTG) and low tension glaucoma (LTG). LTG has a slightly different manifestation of visual field disturbance than HTG.
