[Diagnostic Precision of the Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy in the Large Optic Disc with Physiological Excavation - a Long-Term Study].

Conclusion After 9 years of regular examinations, 16 of the 17 subjects that were classified as "pathological" using MRA showed no glaucomatous visual field defects. In 5 out of these 16 subjects, progressive changes of the optic disc could be recorded via HRT. Therefore, the diagnostic precision of the HRT measurements seems to be limited in patients with large discs and physiological cupping. PMID: 28683479 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
