Estimation of optic disc size using indirect biomicroscopy.

Estimation of optic disc size using indirect biomicroscopy.

The use of the 90 dioptre fundus lens in conjunction with slit-lamp biomicroscopy as a method of estimating optic size was evaluated in a series of 37 patients. The measurements taken from the Haag-Streit slit-lamp were compared with values obtained planimetrically in order to assess a conversion factor and also the reliability of the method. This technique is a quick and easy method of obtaini...

Effect of optic disc size or age on evaluation of optic disc variables.

AIMS/BACKGROUND It has been reported that the number of optic nerve fibres decrease with age, and the cup/disc (C/D) ratio increases as the optic disc size increases. Consequently, the normal value of the optic disc variables measured by an optic disc analyser may change according to the optic disc size or age. The effect of individual variations in optic disc size or age on interpretation of o...

Comparison Of Results Of Optic Disc Analysis Using Stereoscopic Biomicroscopy, Stereo Fundus Photography and Optical Coherence Tomography

Aim – To compare the results of optic disc analysis using optical coherence tomography, fundus photography and stereoscopic biomicroscopy. Materials & Methods – A comparative, observational case series and interobserver variability study in which 2 groups of patients were analysed by all the 3 methods. One group had primary open angle glaucoma patients and the other group were patients undergoi...

The Alteration in Size of the Normal Optic Disc Cup.

Association of optic disc size with development and prognosis of Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy.

PURPOSE To study the optic nerve head (ONH) morphology of patients with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) in a large family from Brazil carrying the 11778/ND4 mutation and in a case series of unrelated Italian families bearing different mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) pathogenic mutations. METHODS Enrolled in the study were 15 LHON-affected patients (LHON-affected) and 45 LHON unaffected m...
