The correlation between cup-disk ratio, neuroretinal rim area, and optic disk area measured by the video-ophthalmograph (Rodenstock analyzer) and clinical measurement.

The video-ophthalmograph (Rodenstock analyzer) records the topography of the optic disk via simultaneous stereoscopic video images which are stored and analyzed with the help of a microcomputer. We performed a prospective study of 49 eyes of 49 patients to compare the vertical cup-disk ratio, the horizontal cup-disk ratio, the neuroretinal rim area, and the optic disk area obtained with the video-ophthalmograph with those obtained with manual analysis of black-and-white stereoscopic photographs. The correlation coefficients were 0.67, for vertical cup-disk ratio (P = .0000), 0.63 for horizontal cup-disk ratio (P = .0000), 0.72 for neuroretinal rim area (P = .0000), and 0.89 for optic disk area (P = .0000).
