Ranking of optic disc variables for detection of glaucomatous optic nerve damage.
PURPOSE To describe optic disc variables assessed by evaluation of clinical optic disc photographs and to compare sensitivity and specificity of these optic disc parameters in identifying patients with ocular hypertension who have nerve fiber layer defects and normal visual fields and patients with visual field defects. METHODS The study included 500 normal subjects, 132 patients with ocular ...
متن کاملEffect 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...
متن کاملVertical cup/disc ratio in relation to optic disc size: its value in the assessment of the glaucoma suspect.
AIMS The vertical cup/disc ratio (CDR) has long been used in the assessment of the glaucoma suspect, though the wide range of CDR values in the normal population limits its use. Cup size is related physiologically to disc size and pathologically to glaucomatous damage. Disc size can be measured at the slit lamp as the vertical disc diameter (DD). The ability of the CDR, in relation to DD, to id...
متن کاملOptic disc morphology and NAION.
Non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is a widespread visually disabling disease in the middleaged and elderly population. Based on clinical observations by Hayreh, Beck, Savino and others, a low cup/disc diameter ratio and a small optic disc have been described to be structural factors associated with the disease. The physiological correlation between disc size and cup/disc...
