[Critical frequency of flashes fusion in differential diagnosis of vision disorders in children].

Critical frequency of fusion of flashes (CFFF) was measured in children by CFFF-D device recommended for clinical trials by the Ministry of Health and Medical Industry of the Russian Federation (Protocol No. 4 of June 13, 1996). A total of 213 children with central and peripheral retinal abiotrophy, partial atrophy of the optic nerve, refraction and dysbinocular amblyopia, and healthy children were examined. The most expressed changes of CFFF were observed in children with optic nerve atrophy. The CFFF-D device provides reliable results for the diagnosis.
