title: Fellow eyes of glaucomatous patients with uniocular optic disc haemorrhage.
abstract: Optic disk stereophotographs and clinical data of 94 patients with uniocular disc haemorrhage were analyzed at the time the haemorrhage was present. Comparison of haemorrhagic eyes with their fellow eyes showed that such patients do not form a separate disease entity but rather present a group of patients with different types of bilateral open-angle glaucoma or suspected glaucoma in various stages of the disease progression. By multivariate analysis, notching of the neural rim was the most effective factor to increase probability of bleeding in contrast to presence of capsular glaucoma which increased probability of an eye belonging to the non-haemorrhagic group of eyes.
