The frequency and severity of optic nerve head prelaminar schisis were found to be greater in glaucoma and glaucoma suspect eyes compared to healthy control eyes, and were associated with markers of glaucoma severity.
PURPOSE: To compare the frequency of observing optic nerve head (ONH) prelaminar schisis by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in glaucoma and glaucoma suspect (GL/S) eyes vs healthy control (HC) eyes and to assess its association with other markers of glaucoma severity. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 298 eyes of 150 GL/S patients and 88 eyes of 44 HCs. OCT scans were obtained, including 24 radial B-scans, each composed of 768 A-lines spanning 158, centered on the ONH. Two reviewers masked to all other clinical, demographic, and ocular information independently graded the OCT scans for the presence of ONH prelaminar schisis on a 4-point scale of 0 ( none) to 3 (severe). The probability of ONH schisis was compared between groups and against demographic and ocular factors, including structural and functional measures of glaucoma severity. RESULTS: The frequency and severity of ONH prelaminar schisis were greater in GL/S than in HC (P = .009). Among the GL/S group, 165 eyes (55.4%) had no visible schisis (Grade 0), 71 (23.8%) had Grade 1, 46 (15.4%) had Grade 2 and 16 (5.4%) had Grade 3 schisis. Among HC eyes, 59 (67.0%) had Grade 0, 24 (27.3%) had Grade 1, 5 (5.7%) had Grade 2, none had Grade 3. ONH schisis was more common in eyes with thinner MRW and a deeper cup. CONCLUSIONS: ONH prelaminar schisis may be a sign of glaucomatous deformation and reflect ongoing pathophysiological damage. ONH prelaminar schisis can impact OCT image segmentation and diagnostic parameters, resulting in substantial overestimation of the true rim tissue thickness and underestimation of cup depth.
