Abstract

Recently there has been an accumulation of evidence suggesting that flicker sensitivity can be abnormally high in some ocular hypertensives,^1-3 as well as in some low-tension glaucoma patients.^4,5 While little is known about the basis for these abnormalities, it has been suggested that they may be the result of abnormalities in the effective adaptation state of the retina.⁵ To further the understanding of these highsensitivity flicker abnormalities, we present data from a three-year study of Temporal Modulation Perimetry (TMP) in ocular hypertensives and glaucoma patients.
