Objective: To compare the differences in optic disc configuration with different stages of visual field loss in normal-tension glaucoma.Design: Interocular pairwise comparisons.Setting: Glaucoma clinic of a teaching hospital.Patients: Thirteen patients with normal-tension glaucoma and asymmetric visual field loss of at least 2.5 dB in the mean defect of the visual field indexes.Interventions: Areas under the optic disc profiles mapped from values for radial sections of the optic disc measured at intervals of 30-degrees and expressed as percentages of the area of a rectangle were obtained from stereophotographs with a computerized image analysis system. Visual fields were tested with automated perimetry (OCTOPUS), using program G1.Main Outcome Measure: Correlation analyses between the interocular differences in the areas under the optic disc profile and the interocular differences in the visual field indexes.Results: The correlation coefficients between the interocular differences in mean defect and those of the area under the optic disc profile in the superior to temporal sections ranged from -.71 to -.61 (.007
