Abstract

We wished to determine whether a relationship exists between Heidelberg retina tomograph (HRT) parameters and the visual field indices. One eye was randomly chosen from 59 normal patients [normal visual field and normal optic nerve head (ONH) and intraocular pressure (IOP) 22 mm Hg), 124 high-tension glaucoma patients (abnormal visual field and/or abnormal optic nerve and IOP >22 mm Hg) and 47 lowtension glaucoma patients (abnormal visual field and or optic disc and IOP Among all subjects, we noted a statistically significant correlation (Pearson's r, p The presence of significant correlations between some HRT parameters, such as rim area and cup shape measure and visual field indices, suggests that these HRT parameters could be good indicators of the degree of glaucomatous ONH damage.
