    Evaluation of The Optic Nerve Head in Glaucoma

    Introduction The diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma is based on the triad of increased intraocular pressure, visual field changes and optic nerve head changes. Apart from the glaucomatous changes in the optic nerve head, the other two factors in isolation lack diagnostic sensitivity. In fact, studies have shown that careful evaluation of the optic nerve head has high specificity and that an experienced observer may be better in distinguishing a normal from a glaucomatous disc as compared to any other technology, like the HRT or OCT.[1-3] IOP can be normal in 50% of patients of glaucoma.[4] Studies by Quigley et al have shown that up to 40% of the axons could be lost before a visual field defect develops on Goldmann perimetry and that 20% of axons are lost before a 5 db loss is detected on standard automated perimetry.[5] So to pick up early or pre-perimetric glaucoma, in the absence of imaging, a sound knowledge of assessment of optic nerve head changes in glaucoma is imperative.
