Enhanced Detection of Open-angle Glaucoma with an Anatomically Accurate Optical Coherence Tomography–Derived Neuroretinal Rim Parameter
Abstract: Objective Neuroretinal rim assessment based on the clinical optic disc margin (DM) lacks a sound anatomic basis for 2 reasons: (1) The DM is not reliable as the outer border of rim tissue because of clinically and photographically invisible extensions of Bruch’s membrane (BM) inside the DM and (2) nonaccountability of rim tissue orientation in the optic nerve head (ONH). The BM opening-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) is a parameter that quantifies the rim from its true anatomic outer border, BMO, and accounts for …

“…Regarding the AUCs for discriminating early glaucoma from glaucoma suspect, the BMO-MRW showed generally higher diagnostic performance than pRNFL thickness. Our findings are consistent with those of previous studies 27,52. Chauhan et al27 reported a higher glaucoma diagnostic performance of BMO-MRW than that of pRNFL thickness in all regions except for the superonasal side as well as the overall average value.…”

“…We found lower values in RNFL thickness measurements even using APS in the global and sectorial analysis of moderately myopic individuals compared with low/no myopia; these were significantly lower in the global and Nasal Superior (NS) sector. This agrees with those studies that show that myopic individuals show a thinner RNFL layer when studied with SD-OCT (18-21). Due to this, healthy myopic subjects are frequently classified as abnormal when compared with the normative database.…”
