    Identification of Glaucoma: Observation of Rim Width

    Uploaded by

    Lokesh Kancharla
    The document discusses methods for identifying glaucoma by observing the optic disc and rim width, size of the neuroretinal rim, pallor of the rim, peripapillary atrophy, and disk hemorrhage. Key signs of glaucoma include a rim width smaller than the optic cup boundary, notching, hemorrhaging or undercutting of the rim, rim abnormalities in one or two sectors, rim diffusion, and a cup size greater than any pallor region. Peripapillary atrophy is identified by hyperpigmented alpha zones typically in the temporal side and beta zones in the inferior side where large choroidal vessels may be visible, and can affect rim size.

    IDENTIFICATION OF GLAUCOMA

    OBSERVATION OF RIM WIDTH


    1. Identification of limits and size of the optic disc.
    2. Rim width=boundary of the optic disc-boundary of the optic cup(where
    kinking of the vessel appears).

    IDENTIFICATION OF SIZE OF THE


    NEURORETINAL RIM
    1. RIM is the area between boundaries of disc and
    cup
    Signs of glaucoma identification by size of rim
    possibly by
    a. Notching of rim
    b. Hemorrhage crossing the rim
    c. Undercutting of rim
    d. Abnormality in the rim in one or two sectors.
    e. Diffusion of rim

    PALLOR

    Observation of color of rim


    1. If the cup size is greater than pallor region it is indicating glaucoma.

    PERIPAPILLARY ATROPHY
    Here two regions will indicate sign of atrophy
    1. Alpha-zone is a hyper pigmented area normally appears in temporal side of
    the disc.
    2. Beta-zone normally appears inferior side of the disc.
    3. In beta zone large choroidal vessel becomes visible.
    4. Beta zone affects the size of the rim.

    DISK HEMORRHAGE
    Due to the leakage of blood in optic disc
