Abstract
We evaluated the 78 diopter (D) lens and Zeiss 4-mirror lens for the measurement of vertical and horizontal optic disc diameters during slit-lamp biomicroscopy and compared the results with the measurements made with the computerized image analysing system (IMAGEnet 640, Topcon, Japan) in 30 eyes of 30 patients. The 78D lens and Zeiss 4-mirror lens measurements both correlated well with the computerized image analysis measurements (r=0.881 for vertical and r=0.895 for horizontal disc diameter measurements with the 78D lens and r=0.883 for vertical and r=0.891 for horizontal disc diameter measurements with the Zeiss 4-mirror lens). The 78D lens measurements overestimated vertical disc diameter by 5.3% and horizontal disc diameter by 4.4%. The Zeiss 4-mirror lens underestimated the vertical disc diameter by 2.4% and horizontal disc diameter by 2.2%. Thus either lens can be used for a quick estimation of the optic disc size, since the results correlate well with the computerized image analysis measurements.
