PURPOSE: To evaluate performance of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for detection of early glaucoma.DESIGN: Observational case-control study.METHODS: (Setting) under bar: University-based tertiary care center. (Study Population) under bar: One eye from 50 normals, 42 glaucoma suspects, and 59 early glaucoma patients meeting the following criteria: visual field (VF) mean deviation greater than or equal to-6.00 dB, age greater than or equal to40 years, spherical refractive error less than or equal to5 diopters, astigmatism less than or equal to3 diopters, and visual acuity greater than or equal to20/ 30. (Observation Procedure) under bar: Early glaucoma by VF (EGVF) was described as repeatable abnormal achromatic VFs based on predefined criteria. Glaucoma suspects (GS) were defined as presence of glaucomatous disk appearance with normal achromatic VFs. (Outcome Measures) under bar: Average nerve fiber layer thickness (NFLT) and NFLT in each of four quadrants and 12 clock-hour sectors. Receiver operating characteristic curves and sensitivity and specificity were used to assess the performance of OCT.RESULTS: Average NFLT was 128.4 +/- 15.4, 102.0 +/- 25.4, and 86.5 +/- 31.5 mum in normal, GS, and EGVF eyes, respectively. Normal eyes were different from both glaucoma groups (P
