An anatomically customizable computational model relating the visual field to the optic nerve head in individual eyes

Abstract

PURPOSE. To present a computational model mapping visual field (VF) locations to optic nerve head (ONH) sectors accounting for individual ocular anatomy, and to describe the effects of anatomical variability on maps produced. METHODS. A previous model that related retinal locations to ONH sectors was adapted to model eyes with varying axial length, ONH position and ONH dimensions. Maps (n=11,550) relating VF locations (24-2 pattern, n = 52 non-blind-spot locations) to 18 ONH sectors were generated for a range of clinically plausible anatomical parameters. Infrequently mapped ONH sectors (5%) were discarded for all locations. The influence of anatomical variables on the maps was explored by m..
