AIM: To study correlation between optic disc parameters with OCT3 and visual field defect in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), to access the value of OCT3 in the early diagnosis of POAG. METHODS: The tomography of optic nerve head of 43 normal subjects, 48 cases with SOAG and 55 patients with POAG were examined using OCT3, while all eyes were detected by Oculus Easyfield perimetry. The differences of the optic disc parameters of OCT3 among these three groups were compared and the correlation between mean deviation and topography parameters in glaucomatous eyes were also analyzed. RESULTS: All of the optic disc parameters obtained by OCT3 showed significant difference (P < 0.01) among these three groups. RA had marked correlation with MD in POAG (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Measurement of topographic parameters by OCT3 is useful in detecting early glaucomatous damage and has marked correlation with MD, and OCT3 measurement of topoigraphic parameters may provide clinically relevant information in monitioring glaucomatous changes. The OCT3 measurement of topoigraphic parameters is of great value to diagnosis of POAG. LA: Chinese
