Background: This study was performed in order to evaluate whether, in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), patients with a different degree of fundus tessellation vary in optic disc morphology and level of intraocular pressure Methods: Color stereo optic disc photographs of 562 patients with POAG and a myopic refractive error of less than -8 diopters were morphometrically examined. According to the degree of fundus tessellation, the total group was divided into a tessellated subgroup (n = 256) and a nontessellated subgroup (n = 306,) both matched for neuroretinal rim area and refractive error Results: In the tessellated subgroup, as compared to the nontessellated subgroup, the mean maximal intraocular pressure values were significantly lower, the parapapillary atrophy was significantly larger, the optic cup was significantly more shallows, frequency of disc hemorrhages was lower, the mean visual field defect was significantly mon marked, and patient age was significantly higher. Within the whole study group, the degree of fundus tessellation increased significantly (P
