Overall, VCDR ≥0.60 with VCDR ≥0.20 asymmetry provides a good balance between sensitivity and specificity in detecting glaucoma. For larger optic disc, VCDR ≥0.65 should be considered instead to mitigate against false-referrals due to larger physiological disc cupping. Our findings may act as a reference to populations with similar VCDR distribution.
