Abstract

Visual fields were examined by means of Friedmann visual field analysis (VFA) and by static perimetry (SP) in 37 clinically definite multiple sclerosis patients. In the asymptomatic group (i.e., patients who never had any symptoms suggesting involvement of the visual pathways) VFA was normal in about half of the eyes tested, while approximately three quarters of the eyes that could be examined by SP showed visual field defects. Patchy relative defects in the intermediate visual field were the most frequently encountered visual field defects.
