Summary:For diagnosing subclinical forms of central sclerotic dystrophies of the retina the authors propose to use color campimetry with the help of standard color glasses or a device suggested by them. Chromatic campimetry used for examination of 75 patients with mono- or bilateral macular dystrophy allowed to reveal absolute central or paracentral scotomas in some persons with macular dystrophy not seen in achromatic campimetry. Only with the help of color campimetry central scotomas could be revealed in second, clinically healthy eyes with still high visual acuity in persons with monolateral macular dystrophies. The red filter proved to be the most sensitive to initial changes in the macular area. For a timely prescription of dedystrophic treatment, the authors recommend to use color campimetry for examination of both eyes of the patients with monolateral macular dystrophy as well as in persons addressing for selection of glasses or undergoing preventive examination.
