Ability of a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (TopSS) to detect early glaucomatous visual field defect

Table 4

Abnormal ratio of optic disc variables according to glaucomatous field defect

Abnormal ratio, no (%)
Variables Group I Group II Group III
Half depth area 19/29 (65.5) 14/19 (73.7) 26/32 (81.25)
C/D ratio 23/29 (79.3) 19/19 (100) 32/32 (100)
Total area of NRR 22/29 (75.9) 19/19 (100) 32/32 (100)
Volume above 15/29 (51.7) 16/19 (84.2) 23/32 (71.9)
Localised thinning of NRR 19/29 (65.5) 16/19 (84.2) 31/32 (96.9)
  • Group I = mild visual field loss (mean deviation better than –6 dB); Group II = moderate visual field loss (mean deviation –6 to –12 dB); Group III = severe visual field loss (mean deviation worse than –12 dB); C/D ratio = cup to disc ratio; NRR = neuroretinal rim.
