A masked independent observer classified those patients as normal, glaucoma suspect, or glaucomatous on the basis of optic disc stereo photos (ODP) and at least 2 consecutive reliable automated perimetries. The diagnosis of glaucoma was based on a glaucomatous optic disc with a congruent, reproducible visual field defect.Results: Four hundred and fifty patients who had undergone an HRT examination were analyzed. One hundred and nine patients had an HRT classified as normal on the MRA, and a good quality image. Fifteen of those 109 patients (13.7%) were classified as glaucomatous on the basis of an abnormal ODP with corresponding visual field defect. Seven (6.4%) patients were classified as glaucoma suspect.Conclusion: Fourteen percent of glaucoma patients with glaucoma remained undetected with the HRT II Moorfield&rsquo;s regression analysis as a sole means to detect glaucoma.Keywords: glaucoma detection, false negative results, Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II Catherine DeghislageLidwine Van MalderenThierry G ZeyenDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2008, Iss Issue 1, Pp 153-157 (2008)
