Abstract:
PURPOSE:To determine the outcomes of acute angle closure glaucoma management. METHODOLOGY:Case-control study using computer-aided imaging as a screening test in a given population. RESULTS:There is a wide variability in cup and disc areas among g normals CONCLUSION:C:D alone has a poor predictive value for diagnosing glaucoma.Optic disc size with C:D is just as sensitive and specific in screening for glaucoma.Cup and disc areas are positively correlated for normal and glaucoma suspects.
