We evaluated the reproducibility of optic nerve head contour mapping by the Optic Nerve Head Analyzer with ten recordings and analyses of one eye each in ten normal volunteers and ten analyses of a single recording in three of the eyes. Reproducibility was good for cup-to-disk ratio and neural rim area. Reproducibility was poor for cup volume, which was inversely related to cup size. Instrument and operator error were low for cup-to-disk ratio and neural rim area, but high for cup volume. Subjective comparisons of contour lines from five recordings of six eyes implied good reproducibility of this measurement.

D009900 Optic Nerve The 2nd cranial nerve which conveys visual information from the RETINA to the brain. The nerve carries the axons of the RETINAL GANGLION CELLS which sort at the OPTIC CHIASM and continue via the OPTIC TRACTS to the brain. The largest projection is to the lateral geniculate nuclei; other targets include the SUPERIOR COLLICULI and the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEI. Though known as the second cranial nerve, it is considered part of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.

D005901 Glaucoma An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.
