description | PURPOSE: The Glaucoma Stereo Analysis Study (GSAS), a cross sectional multicenter collaborative study, used a stereo fundus camera to assess various morphological parameters of the optic nerve head (ONH) in glaucoma patients and investigated the relationships between these parameters and patient characteristics. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The study included 187 eyes of 187 subjects with primary open angle glaucoma or normal tension glaucoma (male: female = 100: 87, age = 61±9 years). Stereo pairs of ONH photographs were made with a stereo fundus camera (nonmyd WX). ONH morphological parameters were calculated with prototype analysis software. In addition to 35 standard parameters, we defined three novel parameters: disc tilt angle, rim decentering, and the absolute value of rim decentering. The correlation between each parameter and patient characteristics was analyzed with Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. RESULTS: Patient characteristics included refractive error of −3.38±3.75 diopters, intraocular pressure (IOP) of 13.6±2.6 mmHg, and visual field mean deviation (MD) of −4.71±3.26 dB. Representative ONH parameters included a horizontal disc width of 1.66±0.28 mm, vertical disc width of 1.86±0.23 mm, disc area of 2.42±0.63 mm(2), cup area of 1.45±0.57 mm(2), and cup volume of 0.31±0.22 mm(3). Correlation analysis revealed significant negative associations between vertical cup-to-disc ratio (0.82±0.08) and MD (r = −0.40, P<0.01) and between disc tilt angle (10.5±12.5 degrees) and refractive error (r = −0.36, P<0.01). Seventy-five percent of the eyes had a positive value for rim decentering (0.30±0.42), indicating that rim thinning manifested more often as an inferior lesion than a superior lesion. CONCLUSION: We used stereoscopic analysis to establish a database of ONH parameters, which may facilitate future studies of glaucomatous changes in ONH morphology. |
