Objective To study the retinal light sensitivity of central visual field in normal children. Methods The QZS-Ⅱ automated perimetry was used to assess the visual field of centro-30deg;and centro-6deg; in normal or ametropic eyes in 60 eyes of 5～9 years old children. Results The mean sensitivity(MS)was not influenced by sex,age and laterality and ametropia of the eye.The normal type of dB distribution was obviously higher than the abnormal(P＜0.01).We set normal range as 30deg;MS＞19.3 dB, 6deg;MS＞22.5 dB.The abnormality of value or distribution didnprime;t appear in the same field. Conclusions In normal children,the dB distribution of visual field was mainly of the normal type.We suggest that in evaluating function of visual filed of the children,the dB distribution of centro-30deg;and centro-6deg;field and the value of MS should be included.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the value of psychophysical testing for the macular function in the diegnosis of diabetic retinopathy(DR). METHODS:To compare the testing results of macular light sensitivity and pattern visual evoked potential(P-VEP)of 30 eyes of 15 normal person with those of 82 eyes of 41 diabetic patients(27 eyes without DR,55 eyes with simple type DR ). RESULTS:The macular light sensitivity of diabetic patients is much lower than that of normal Control group(plt;0.05). In the diabetic group, 62.19% is abnormal in macular light sensitivity, 69.51% in P-VEP. CONCLUSION: Testing of macular light sensitivit y is helpful in finding of diabetic retinopathy and early deterioration of macular visual function in diabetics. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1996,12: 223-224）
