All eyes underwent intraocular pressure measurement, visual field testing, endothelial cell count (ECC), measurement of the CCT and AXL, and gonioscopy. After dilation of the pupil, a digital photograph of each optic disc was performed, followed by PPA, D area and C area measurements.Results: We found a statistically significant difference in the C/D area ratio between healthy and POAG eyes and a moderate negative relationship between AXL and D in healthy eyes. We also found a moderate negative relationship between CCT and C/D area ratio in POAG eyes and a strong negative relationship between PPA and D in OH eyes.Conclusions: CCT was not correlated with PPA and AXL in any one of the three groups. OH eyes seem to have more tolerant and stable disc and peripapillary area compared to healthy and POAG eyes.Keywords: glaucoma, peripapillary, cupping, corneal thickness, axial length, optic disc Michalis MoschosChryssanthi KoutsandreaGerasimos GeorgopoulosGeorge TomaisDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2008, Iss Issue 4, Pp 981-988 (2008)
