Abstract
PURPOSE: To compare optic disc topography in eyes with compressive optic neuropathy (CON) and open-angle glaucoma (OAG) using spectral-domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Heidelberg retinal tomograph (HRT) (Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany). DESIGN: Cross-sectional, observational study. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 200 eyes from 123 patients with CON (69 eyes) or OAG (58 eyes) and controls (73 eyes). METHODS: Univariate and multivariate analyses of HRT parameters, SD-OCT circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, and optic nerve head (ONH) parameters. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Circumpapillary RNFL, OCT ONH parameters, and HRT parameters. RESULTS: The ..
