FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves studying critical flicker fusion frequency threshold in Bjerrum zone. Intraocular pressure jump is modeled by applying vacuum sucker of vacuum pump to 1/4 of perilimbal zone. The critical flicker fusion frequency threshold lowering on the compression background by 20% and more when compared to the initial value and restoration time for this function growing beyond 5 min after taking off the load, glaucoma diagnosis is to be set. EFFECT: high accuracy in diagnosing glaucoma and differentiating ophthalmic hypertension from glaucoma.
