The Baltimore Eye Survey was a population-based survey of the prevalence of ocular disorders in East Baltimore, Maryland. To determine whether eyes with larger optic disc areas had a higher risk for developing open-angle glaucoma (OAG), one eye (the eye with the largest disc area) from each subject with glaucoma (diagnosed by visual field loss and a compatible optic disc appearance but not level of intraocular pressure [IOP]) was compared with those of subjects without glaucoma. There was no statistically significant difference in overall optic disc area between patients with OAG and control subjects, although patients with OAG tended to have slightly larger discs. Among the patients with OAG, disc area was not significantly related to IOP level after adjusting for age, race, and gender. The authors concluded that disc area was a weak risk factor for open-angle glaucoma.

Purpose. The Glaucoma Stereo Analysis Study, a cross-sectional multicenter collaborative study, used a stereo fundus camera (nonmyd WX) to assess various morphological parameters of the optic nerve head (ONH) in glaucoma patients. We compared the associations of each parameter between the visual field loss progression group and no-progression group. Methods. The study included 187 eyes of 187 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or normal-tension glaucoma. We divided the mean deviation (MD) slope values of all patients into the progression group (<−0.3 dB/year) and no-progression group (≧−0.3 dB/year). ONH morphological parameters were calculated with prototype analysis software. The correlations between glaucomatous visual field progression and patient characteristics or each ONH parameter were analyzed with Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Results. The MD slope averages in the progression group and no-progression group were −0.58 ± 0.28 dB/year and 0.05 ± 0.26 dB/year, respectively. Among disc parameters, vertical disc width (diameter), disc area, cup area, and cup volume in the progression group were significantly less than those in the no-progression group. Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between the visual field progression and disc area (odds ratio 0.49/mm2 disc area). Conclusion. A smaller disc area may be associated with more rapid glaucomatous visual field progression.
