Cupping of the optic disc associated with the atrophy of the optic nerve is one of the earliest recognizable signs of glaucoma . Measurements of the optic cup changes would provide objective evaluation in early diagnosis and therapy of glaucomatous eyes, by following the course of the patient in relation to the loss of visual field and medical or surgical control . A semi-analytical photogramme...

A 21-year-old female presented with a 4-day history of decreased vision in her only functional eye (right eye, OD).
