Abstract

The method of observation for quantitative evaluation of disc pattern in early diagnosis of simple glaucoma was discussed in view of necessity of quantitative analysis of disc pattern, outline of quantitative disc pattern, judgement of quantitative disc pattern, type of glaucomatous cupping and classification of grade for glaucoma etc. At this attempt, authors observed vertical cup and disc ratio of physiologic cupping, prior to the investigation of variations of glaucomatous changes of optic disc. The associated factors with this study were briefly mentioned for further study.
