Optic Disk Size Variability Between African, Asian, White, Hispanic, and Filipino Americans Using Heidelberg Retinal Tomography

Abstract

In our glaucoma clinic-based population, white-Americans had smaller optic disks than all other races, and there were no optic disk size differences among the other races studied. Optic disk size had no significant relationship to age, sex, CCT, cylindrical refraction or diagnosis, and a small direct relationship to SE. Confirmation of these results in a population-based study is needed.
