ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To compare the glaucomatous optic nerve damage in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) with acute attack (acute PACG; AACG) and PACG without acute attack (chronic PACG; CACG).METHODS:
The study subjects were 84 normal individuals, 130 AACG patients, and 86 CACG patients. Color optic disc photographs were evaluated for the presence or absence of 10 qualitative signs to differentiate between normal and glaucomatous optic discs.RESULTS:
Abnormally shaped rim width (alteration of ISN'T rule), bared circumlinear vessel, vessel bayonetting, rim width narrower than the temporal sector, and zone beta (nasal and superotemporal sectors) were detected more frequently in the CACG group than in the AACG group (P< 0.05). The most accurate qualitative sign was abnormally shaped rim width in both groups. The specificity and sensitivity of abnormally shaped rim width were 71.4% and 60.8% for AACG, and 71.4% and 81.4% for CACG, respectively.CONCLUSIONS:
The optic disc damage is greater in CACG than in AACG.
