Assessment of optic disc anatomy and nerve fiber layer thickness in ocular XXXX subjects with normal short-wavelength automated perimetry.

@entity1 @entity227 @entity101 @entity2790 @entity1781
PURPOSE: To compare optic disc topography and nerve fiber layer thickness in @entity2790 and normal subjects. DESIGN: Prospective, case-controlled study. @entity1 AND CONTROLS: One eye in each of 20 normal and 27 ocular @entity101 @entity1 was enrolled. METHODS: Consecutive normal and ocular @entity101 @entity1 were enrolled. Each @entity1 underwent complete ophthalmic examination, achromatic automated perimetry, short-wavelength automated perimetry, confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, confocal scanning laser polarimetry, and optical coherence tomography. The intraocular pressure was 21 mmHg or less for normal subjects and at least 25 mmHg on two separate occasions in @entity2790 . Structural parameters were compared between the two groups. Eyes with evidence of @entity1781 , @entity227 , or evidence of focal @entity227 during short-wavelength automated perimetry were excluded. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Optic nerve head topography and nerve fiber layer thickness. RESULTS: The three imaging technologies could not detect differences in optic disc or nerve fiber layer anatomy between the two groups. Ocular @entity101 eyes had a greater corrected pattern standard deviation than normal eyes during short-wavelength automated perimetry (P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: Ocular @entity101 eyes with normal achromatic automated perimetry and short-wavelength automated perimetry could not be distinguished from normal subjects with confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, confocal scanning laser polarimetry, and optical coherence tomography.
