چکیده

PURPOSE To compare the optic disc topography measurements from a digitized laser slit-lamp and a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO). METHODS Ten normal subjects (10 eyes) were recruited. Topographic measurements of the optic disc were performed three times in all eyes using the Retinal Thickness Analyzer (RTA) and the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II (HRT II), and the mean values determined. The mean values of 11 optic disc parameters were compared between the two instruments by the Wilcoxon signed rank test. To test the reproducibility of the topographic measurements, the coefficients of variation (CV) of the topographic parameters among the three measurements from each of the two instruments were compared using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. RESULTS The mean cup depth, mean retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, and RNFL cross-sectional area were significantly smaller when measured by RTA compared with HRT II (P =.0067, P =.0364, P =.0467, respectively). The mean CVs from the RTA were larger than those from the HRT II for all parameters; however, the differences in all parameters did not reach significance. CONCLUSION The RTA measured smaller z-axis values compared with the HRT II. The reproducibility of the topographic data was not significantly different between the instruments.

Retinal nerve fiber layer measured by Heidelberg retina tomograph and nerve fiber analyzer.

PURPOSE To compare retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measured by Heidelberg retina tomograph (HRT) and nerve fiber analyzer (GDx). METHODS Twenty eyes of 20 consecutive healthy subjects were recruited for this study. Each subject had a normal visual field and a normal optic nerve head, which was assessed by slit-lamp biomicroscopy using a 90 degrees lens. Using the HRT and GDx, RNFL ...

Comparison between Optic Nerve Head Topography – Using the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph – and Resolution Visual Fields

Early diagnosis is probably essential for the outcome of glaucoma treatment, and a number of methods for detecting glaucomatous damage have been developed and evaluated1. Resolution perimetry (HRP)2,3, measuring spatial resolution, is one of the methods with the highest sensitivity1. It has been found to be reliable and useful in the management and follow-up of glaucoma4-10. Another way of dete...

Imaging of the optic disc and retinal nerve fiber layer: the effects of age, optic disc area, refractive error, and gender.

We cross-sectionally examined the relationship between age, optic disc area, refraction, and gender and optic disc topography and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measurements, using optical imaging techniques. One eye from each of 155 Caucasian subjects (age range 23.0-80.8 y) without ocular pathology was included. Measurements were obtained by using the Heidelberg Retina Tomography (HRT), the...
