Sažetak

The aim of the study was to evaluate optic disk appearance and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in normal, ocular hypertensive (OHT) and glaucomatous eyes using optical coherence tomography (OCT). This comparative analysis included 62 eyes: 24 normal, 16 OHT and 22 glaucomatous. OCT topographic parameters of cup diameter, cup area, rim area and cup/disk area ratio were significantly greater in OHT eyes than in normal eyes, and significantly greater in glaucomatous eyes than in normal and OHT eyes. RNFL was significantly thinner in OHT eyes than in normal eyes in the inferior quadrant, and in glaucomatous eyes as compared with OHT and normal eyes on an average and in all four quadrants. OCT is a sensitive method for detection of the earliest organic damage in glaucoma, while optic disk parameters and RNFL by use of OCT may prove useful on clinical assessment of glaucoma.
