FDT PERIMETRY PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE SCOTOMA ON HUMPHREY

Prediction of future scotoma on conventional automated static perimetry using frequency doubling technology perimetry -- Kogure et al. 90 (3): 347 -- British Journal of Ophthalmology According to this study:
"An abnormal result in FDT shows a high risk of future scotoma on HFA after 3 years even if the original HFA perimetry showed normal results."
I think FDT is a great screening test that is so fast and easy to use that it ought to be part of the standard tech work-up.
