title: [Glaucoma parameters of the papilla. Comparison of clinical and stereophotography methods with laser scanning tomography].
abstract: The observations recorded by laser tomographic scanner (LTS) and with clinical and stereophotographic evaluation of 40 optic discs in the same glaucomatous patients were compared. Quantitative parameters (vertical and horizontal cup-to-disc ratio) and qualitative parameters (nasal excavation, notch, pseudo-pit, overpass, bayonetting) were evaluated. The correlation coefficients for the quantitative parameter ranged from 0.59 to 0.73. The definition of excavation used meant that the values found with the LTS were consistently higher. The qualitative parameter did not differ significantly with the method. Therefore, the LTS can be considered equivalent to the standard methods.
