Multivariate analysis of structural parameters of the optic nerve head assessed by means of confocal scanning laser (Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II).
We evaluated the optic nerve head parameters measured by confocal scanning laser that discriminated between normal and glaucomatous subjects in 97 normal eyes and 94 glaucomatous eyes. Several different linear regression formulas can discriminate the presence of glaucomatous. The use of linear regression functions of HRT parameters elaborated from autochthon population around the world will add the amounts of evidence needed to support the global use of these functions.
