AIM: To investigate the value of optic disc formation analysis in early diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma. METHODS: Seventy-two examinees whose cup-disc ratio were 0.5-0.8 underwent ophthalmic routine examinations, gonioscopy, perimetry and optical coherence tomography(OCT), and the results were analyzed. RESULTS: The intraocular pressure of only 10 exami-nees with normal optic disc formation fell on the "suspicious" range. All the examinees with normal optic disc formation got normal results in perimetry and OCT. A big proportion of examinees with abnormal optic disc formation got abnormal results in intraocular pressure measurement, perimetry and OCT. CONCLUSION: The optic disc formation is a sensitive factor in early diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma.LA: Chinese
