Previous studies suggested that POAG eyes have more severe disturbances of the magnocellular pathway than NTG eyes, and frequency-doubling technology could be therefore more sensitive for POAG than NTG.[33],[34] Similarly, could the icVEP also be more sensitive for POAG than NTG?

In comparing the patients with anisometropic amblyopia and the normal group, both the stimuli of the parvocellular pathway (100% contrast and high spatial frequency as the features of the parvocellular system) and the magnocellular pathway (30% contrast and low spatial frequency as the features of the magnocellular system) showed a significant reduction in the amplitude of the wave.

Different from other automated VF testing modalities, the low spatial temporal frequency stimulus used in FDT presumably stimulates the magnocellular pathway [21].
