The value of high-pass resolution perimetry in glaucoma

Curr Opin Ophthalmol. 2000 Apr;11(2):85-9. doi: 10.1097/00055735-200004000-00003.

Abstract

High-pass resolution perimetry (HRP) is a perimetric technique that relies on low-contrast, high-spatial-frequency-filtered, ring-shaped test targets. It was devised as a quick and user-friendly technique that reflects the status of the retino-corneal pathway. Since its introduction in 1987, HRP has undergone substantial investigation, primarily in cross-sectional studies on patients with glaucoma, though it is also used in patients with neuro-ophthalmologic disorders. HRP has a shorter test time compared with conventional perimetry. Currently, evidence suggests that HRP is a viable test for the evaluation of the glaucomatous visual field.
