Agreement on the evaluation of glaucomatous optic nerve head findings by ophthalmology residents and a glaucoma specialist
OBJECTIVES To assess agreement among ophthalmology residents and a glaucoma expert in the evaluation of cross-sectional glaucomatous optic nerve head characteristics using stereoscopic photographs. METHODS Twenty stereo photographs were analyzed by ophthalmology residents just after completion of their first (First-Year Group) or third (Third-Year Group) year of residency and by a glaucoma ex...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Optic Nerve Head in Glaucoma.
Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy leading to changes in the intrapaillary and parapaillary regions of the optic disk. Despite technological advances, clinical identification of optic nerve head characteristics remains the first step in diagnosis. Careful examination of the disk parameters including size, shape, neuroretinal rim shape and pallor; size of the optic cup in relation to the area of th...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of the optic nerve head in early glaucoma.
AIMS Progressive loss of neuroretinal rim tissue is known to occur early in glaucoma and measurement of the neuroretinal rim area is possible by magnification corrected analysis of optic disc photographs (planimetry). This study was performed to determine whether the facility to distinguish between glaucomatous and normal optic discs could be improved upon by: (a) taking into account the known ...
متن کاملClinical Evaluation of Optic Nerve Head in Glaucoma
Glaucomatous optic neuropathy is characterized by changes in the intrapapillary and parapapillary region of the optic nerve head, including excavation of the optic nerve head and consequent defects in retinal sensitivity with visual field defects and other psychophysical alterations. Clinical evaluation of the optic nerve head has been shown to have a high specificity and good precision for gla...
متن کاملMass Dimension Evaluation of the Optic Nerve Head Microvascularity in Non-Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathies
In several diseases, fractal analysis has been proven useful to give contribution in diagnosis and prognosis of the patient and to improve treatments. In the present work we have evaluated the mass dimension of the vascular pattern of optic nerve head in non-glaucomatous optic neuropathic patients and healthy controls. Static fluorescein angiogram was performed and the images of the early venou...
