The aim of this study was to find out how Blue-on-Yellow (B/Y) Perimetry and Frequency-Doubling Perimetry (FDT)results correlate with structural measures obtained with Confocal Scanning Laser Tomography for the diagnosis of early glaucoma with no White-on- White Perimetric defects but clinically abnormal excavation. The study population consisted of 19 normal subjects, 34 patients with clinically abnormal excavaciones and 15 patients with early glaucoma.

After testing, multiple regression analysis found that in the group of glaucoma suspects the most important predictors were RNFL cross section area and mean RNFL, which significantly correlated with the B-Y visual Field MD.
