Search for: [Abstract = "nerve fiber layer\) cross section area, all other stereotactic parameters of an optic nerve in HRT test presented statisticaly significant discrepancies between the investigated group and the control group. The majority of HRT parameters allowed to differentiate patients with glaucoma from healthy persons. In order to select HRT parameters which determine the progression of glaucoma, I constructed a series of logistic models with respect to one or two HRT parameters. In my research the following parameters presented significant statistic change\: the cup area, the c\/d ratio, the rim area and the mean cup depth. The progression of glaucomatous neuropathy was diagnosed when three of four parameters mentioned above indicated significant statistic change. In the group of 73 eyes of patients with glaucoma, HRT progression was observed in 61 cases. The sensitivity of HRT test with respect to the evaluation of glaucomatous neuropathy progression was determined at the level of 83,6%. The secifity of this method, the percentage of eye with the progression, from the control group was defined as 66,7%. In the clinical evaluation of the photography of the optic nerve head, the most often the progression was indicated based on “desolated vessels on the disc ” and “local thinning of neuroretinal rim \(notch\)”. The most seldom \(only 2 cases\), the progression was based basing on the c\/d and the r\/d changes. In the group of 73 eyes of patients with glaucoma, progression in clinical evaluation of the photography of the optic disc was observed in 58 cases. The sensitivity of the evaluation of progression with respect to the photography of the optic nerve disc in the investigated group was 72,6%. And the specifity of this method was 70,8%."]
