Abstract: Glaucoma, alias'the thief of light', characterized by visual field defects that correspond to damaged areas of the optic nerve head, is a common ophthalmopathy causing irreversible blindness. Thus early diagnosis is crucial. Structural assessment can detect Glaucoma in early stage and diminish the risk of irreversible visual impairment. There are now several apparatus which can clinically measure ONH parameters and confirm DDLS (disc damage likelihood scale) precisely and reproducibly. Comprehensive estimate considering RNFLD (retina nervefiberlayer defects), offers reliable evidence as well as potent support for preclinical detecting, measurement and follow-up observations.
