[Relative micro- and macrodiscs-a challenge in optical coherence tomography-based glaucoma diagnostics?]

Optical coherence tomography provides high-resolution imaging and measurement of glaucoma-relevant structures of the posterior pole. Minimal rim width, retinal nerve fiber layer, and ganglion cell layer thickness are parameters that enhance interpretation of micro- and macrodiscs in relation to a normative database. They are a valuable supplement to ophthalmoscopy and sensory testing in glaucoma diagnostics.
