An editorial in the October issue of the British Journal of Ophthalmology states that the method of investigating the phenomenon of frequency doubling is very useful for the diagnosis of many neurological diseases, according to the Internet publication for girls and women aged 14 to 35 Pannochka. Net The functional-diagnostic method of investigating the frequency doubling phenomenon in recent years has found wide application in the diagnosis of early stages of glaucoma development and a number of other forms of optic nerve diseases; It was shown that this method allows to detect pathological changes in the field of vision earlier than the standard automated perimetry.

Due to its clinical importance, the method is intensively developing, and now the second generation of devices for this type of diagnostics is being manufactured - Humphrey Matrix. According to the author of the article, a new improved device for investigating the phenomenon of frequency doubling will allow ophthalmologists to better understand the interrelation of structural and functional disorders in various forms of pathology of the optic nerve and the pathways.
