Relation between size of optic disc and thickness of retinal nerve fibre layer in normal subjects

Table 3

Correlations between optic disc size (x) and the ratio of the superior, temporal, inferior, and nasal quadrants to the total in the integral of retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (Y) in 60 normal eyes

Ratio Regression line R R2 p Value
Superior quadrant/total Y = 0.008x + 0.296 0.129 0.017 0.326
Temporal quadrant/total Y = −0.004x + 0.168 −0.083 0.007 0.528
Inferior quadrant/total Y = −0.014x + 0.351 −0.274 0.075 0.034
