Cup-to-disc ratio measured clinically and via OCT in pediatric patients being monitored as glaucoma suspects for suspicious optic discs
Measurements of CDR by clinician assessment were significantly smaller than measurements obtained via OCT imaging. However, the average difference between CDR measured clinically and by OCT was <0.1. Thus, OCT may be a suitable way to measure CDR in pediatric glaucoma suspects, especially when clinical exam proves difficult. Further research is needed to assess CDR in glaucoma suspects using OCT longitudinally and in the context of other optic disc measurements, such as disc area.
