Manalastas PIC, et al. - Researchers assessed if an automated assessment of beta-zone parapapillary atrophy (βPPA) area could differentiate between glaucomatous and healthy eyes of varying axial lengths (AL). Findings suggested a significant association of larger βPPA area, as determined by automated optical coherence tomography (OCT) assessment with a diagnosis of glaucoma, even after adjusting for age and axial length, and could aid in differentiating healthy from glaucomatous eyes. Authors noted a stronger agreement for the location of Bruch´s membrane opening and the location of retinal pigment epithelium tips between the automated technique and each individual observer than it was between the 2 observers.
