PURPOSE: To determine the reproducibility of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and optic nerve head parameters measured with the optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in normal eyes. METHODS: Thirty-four eyes of 34 healthy patients were included in the study. The Cirrus OCT optic disc cube 200×200 protocol was used to obtain three scans from each eye to evaluate the reproducibility. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated for the measurements of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and optic nerve head […]

PURPOSE: To investigate whether there is a difference in topographic characteristics of optic nerve head analyzed by Heidelberg retina tomography (HRTII) in relatives of normal patients with or without history of open angle glaucoma. METHODS: Retrospective study analyzing the optic disc morphometry of normal patients with or without family history of glaucoma. Each participant underwent a routine examination, visual field testing, pachimetry and optic nerve head topography. Patients were classified according their family history of glaucoma in groups as first-degree […]
