[Arden test for early glaucomatous damage (author's transl)].

With the aid of the Arden grading test 27 eyes with early glaucomatous visual field defects and 80 normal control eyes were examined in a double-blind study. Eighteen eyes with early glaucomatous visual field defects had values which were clearly higher (83-130) than the control eyes. In nine of the diseased eyes Arden scores were 68-82, i.e., similar to those obtained in the normal eyes.
