| Abstract | PURPOSE: To investigate the relationship between cup-to-disc ratio (CDR) and estimates of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) number. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 156 healthy eyes, 53 glaucoma suspects, and 127 eyes with glaucoma. All eyes had standard automated perimetry (SAP), Cirrus SD-OCT, and stereoscopic optic disc photography within 6 months. CDR was determined from stereoscopic photographs by two or more masked graders. The number of RGCs in each eye was estimated using a published model that combines estimates of RGC number from SAP sensitivity thresholds and SD-OCT retinal nerve fiber layer measurements. RESULTS: The mean estimated RGC count was 1,063,809 in healthy eyes; 828,522 in eyes with suspected glaucoma; and 774,200 in early, 468,568 in moderate, and 218,471 in advanced glaucoma. Healthy eyes had a mean vertical CDR of 0.45 ± 0.15 vs. 0.80 ± 0.16 in glaucomatous eyes. There was good correlation between stereophotographic vertical CDR and SD-OCT vertical CDR (R(2) = 0.825; P < 0.001). The relationship between estimated RGCs and vertical CDR was best represented using a third degree polynomial regression model, including age and optic disc area, which accounted for 83.3% of the variation in estimated RGC counts. The nonlinear relationship between RGC estimates and CDRs indicated that eyes with a large CDR would require loss of large RGC numbers for a small increase in CDR. CONCLUSIONS: The relationship between estimated RGC counts and CDR suggests that assessment of change in CDR is an insensitive method for evaluation of progressive neural losses in glaucoma. Even relatively small changes in CDR may be associated with large losses of RGCs, especially in eyes with large CDRs. (ClinicalTrials.gov numbers, NCT00221923, NCT00221897.). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
