In order to obtain a new diagnostic tool for the early diagnosis of glaucoma, we developed a method based on computerized analysis of the optic disk, cup and neuroretinal rim areas. A fundus camera, a personal computer and a graphic tablet are employed. Suitable software was developed for calculating the areas (disk, cup and rim) providing an index, the rim/disk ratio. The method revealed high repeatability and reproducibility. The simplicity and speed of the procedure make this test suitable for routine clinical use in the early diagnosis of glaucoma

Abstract

In order to obtain a new diagnostic tool for the early diagnosis of glaucoma, we developed a method based on computerized analysis of the optic disk, cup and neuroretinal rim areas. A fundus camera, a personal computer and a graphic tablet are employed. Suitable software was developed for calculating the areas (disk, cup and rim) providing an index, the rim/disk ratio. The method revealed high repeatability and reproducibility. The simplicity and speed of the procedure make this test suitable for routine clinical use in the early diagnosis of glaucoma
