ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the influence of age, gender, and refractive error on the qualitative signs of glaucomatous optic nerve damage in normal eyes.METHODS:
We evaluated color optic disc photographs for the presence or absence of 10 qualitative signs rim shape alteration (alteration of ISN'T rule), thinnest rim width outside the temporal sector, rim notch, optic disc hemorrhage, baring of circumlinear vessel, bayonetting of vessel, nasalization of vessel, abnormally large peripapillary atrophy, abnormal form of peripapillary atrophy, and zone beta in 181 eyes of 181 normal subjects. The influence of age, gender, and refractive error on each qualitative sign was analysed by multiple logistic regression.RESULTS:
Refractive error was related to zone beta (odds ratio=2.29, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.21~4.33, p=0.009) and the frequency of zone beta was higher in myopic eyes. Age was weakly associated with abnormally large peripapillary atrophy (odds ratio=1.03, 95% CI=1.01~1.06, p=0.02). Gender, on the other hand, had no influence on qualitative signs.CONCLUSIONS:
Our findings indicate that the qualitative signs of glaucomatous optic nerve damage were not affected by age, gender, and refractive error, except for zone beta and abnormally large peripapillary atrophy. Myopia was related to zone beta, and age was related to abnormally large peripapillary atrophy in normal eyes.
