Purpose: To determine the proportion of glaucoma suspects with abnormal nerve fiber layer measurement using GDx nerve fiber analyzer Methodology: The study population consisted of glaucoma suspects between ages 30-70 years, who underwent glaucoma workup including retinal nerve fiber layer measurement (GDx NFA) Results: 35 eyes of glaucoma suspects were analyzed. 28/35 were found to have normal NFL thickness; 5/35 have 1 abnormal GDx parameters; 1/35 with 3 abnormal GDx parameters; 1/35 with 3 GDx abnormal parameters. Linear regression analysis showed no correlation between C:D and GDx parameters Conclusion: This study confirms that superior maximum is useful to the other parameters but there is a need to collect more samples.
