Summary:New data on the function of the retinal cone system in glaucoma are presented, which extend the symptom complex of optic neuropathy of glaucoma origin and the potentialities of initial diagnosis of glaucoma. A new symptom is detected: disordered topography of color (red and green) sensitivity, which can serve as the early symptom of glaucomatous optic neuropathy and indicate the degree of its progress. The location of the process, detected in examination of color sensitivity topography, is more extensive than it is detected by static perimetry. Primary location of functional disorders is detected in the parafoveal area and the disorders are the more severe the further from the center during the initial stage of glaucoma. As the process progresses, the central zones are involved in it.
