Optic disc changes in ocular hypertension

B Schwartz

    Survey of Ophthalmology
    |November 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Ocular hypertensive eyes show increased optic disc pallor and fluorescein filling defects compared to normal eyes. These changes correlate with age and blood pressure in ocular hypertension, unlike in normal eyes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optic Nerve Health
    • Glaucoma Research

    Background:

    • Ocular hypertension is a risk factor for glaucoma.
    • Optic disc changes are key indicators of glaucomatous damage.
    • Understanding early optic disc alterations in ocular hypertension is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare optic disc cupping and pallor between ocular hypertensive and normal eyes.
    • To investigate correlations between optic disc changes, age, and blood pressure in both groups.
    • To characterize fluorescein angiography findings in ocular hypertensive optic discs.

    Main Methods:

    • Quantitative measurement of optic disc cupping and pallor percentages.
    • Comparison of these metrics between ocular hypertensive and normal subjects.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Fluorescein angiography of the optic disc.
  • Correlation analysis with age and systolic blood pressure.

    • Main Results:

    • Ocular hypertensive eyes exhibited significantly increased optic disc pallor compared to normal eyes.
    • No significant difference in optic disc cupping was observed between the groups.
    • Increased number and area of optic disc fluorescein filling defects were noted in ocular hypertensive eyes.
    • Positive correlations between filling defect area, age, and systolic blood pressure were found in ocular hypertensives, but not in normal eyes.
    • Cupping correlated positively with age in normal eyes, but not in ocular hypertensive eyes.

    Conclusions:

    • Optic disc changes in ocular hypertension are mainly characterized by increased pallor and fluorescein filling defects.
    • These changes suggest potential early glaucomatous damage in ocular hypertensive individuals.
    • Age and systolic blood pressure are associated with specific optic disc alterations in ocular hypertension.
