Assessment of Structural Progression in Glaucoma Through Automated Optic Nerve Head Hemoglobin Measurements.

Prcis: Automated optic nerve head hemoglobin measurements through change overtime in the Globin Individual Pointer (GIP) index, provided by the Laguna ONhE software, can be useful to evaluate structural progression in glaucoma.

Purpose: To assess the performance of automated optic nerve head hemoglobin measurements (ONH Hb) for detection of structural progression in glaucoma patients using event analysis.

Patients And Methods: Treated glaucoma patients were included in this cross-sectional study.

Automated Optic Nerve Head Hemoglobin Measurements versus General Ophthalmologists Evaluation to Differentiate Glaucomatous from Large Physiological Cupping: A Diagnostic Performance Comparative Study.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic performance in differentiating patients with glaucoma from those with presumed large physiological optic disc cupping (LPC), using optic nerve head hemoglobin levels (ONH Hb), as a screening method, versus the evaluation of general ophthalmologists.

Patients And Methods: Twenty general ophthalmologists evaluated PowerPoint images of 40 patients with glaucoma and 40 presenting LPC. Presentation of patient's exams were distributed as follows: Group 1 (GI): color retinography (CR), Group 2 (GII): CR + visual field (VF), Group 3 (GIII): CR + optical coherence tomography (OCT), Group 4 (GIV): CR + VF + OCT.
