Objectives: To evaluate the Short Wave length Automated Perimetry - SWAP in Glaucoma diagnosis. Patients and Methods: Cross-sectional study on 58 eyes diagnosed with POAG in Glaucoma Department, VNIO from 9/2011 to 2/2012. Results: According to the VF classification, SWAP detected 24 eyes at stage 0 (41,4 percent), 9 eyes at stage 1 (15,5 percent), 9 eyes at stage 2 (15,5 percent), 8 eyes at stage 3 (13,8 percent) and 8 eyes at stage 4 (13,8 percent). In comparison with SAP, SWAP had shorter test duration (234 + or - 59,4 seconds vs 330,6 :I: 64,2 seconds; p 0,0001), showed deeper and larger defects (p 0,001 and p 0,0001 respectively) but more prone to be affected by significant cataracts. SWAP detected lesions in 8 eyes over 31 eyes in which SAP found normal previously. Conclusion: New generation of SWAP with shorter test duration was comfortable for patients and brought about reliable test resuts. SWAP had ability to detect glaucoma defects earlier than SAP but needed to be used carefully in cases of advanced lesions and significant catarcat.
