ABSTRACT:
A method for the detection of glaucoma which permits the early detection of glaucoma without expensive equipment or a technician. The device for the method comprises a planar surface having a fixation target thereon for focusing a test eye during testing, a mark positioned in a blind spot area outside of the user's area of peripheral vision and at least one additional mark in the field of vision of the user. To perform the method for the determination of glaucoma, the user of the device focuses the test eye on the fixation target eliminating the mark in the blind spot area from the user's vision and ascertaining the visibility of each additional mark.
