RESUMO
Myopic discs(range: -0.5D) which were taken a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope(HRT, Heidelberg Engineering) were analyzed to determine the relationship between optic disc parameters and myopic refractive errors. Regression analysis and coefficient variation were used for a statistic tool. The disc area was not correlated with the myopic refractive error(p=0.21) and showed 16.0% of coefficient of variation. Cup area, cup disc area ratio, rim area, cup volume, rim volume, mean cup depth, maximum cup depth and cup shape measure showed statistically significant correlation with myopic refractive error, respectively(p<0.05). Among these parameters, rim area varied least(within all myopic eyes) with 16.5% of coefficient of variation. As the rim area is the most stable optic disc parameter interindividually in myopic population, it seem to be valuable for follow-up evaluation when a glaucomatous damage is suspected in myopic eyes by calculating its expected normal value with a regression equation.
