Abstract;We measured retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in 32 normal eyes and 31 glaucomatous eyes using GDx and GDx Access, and compared the two devices in terms of measurement duration and various other parameters. Duration of measurement, of data processing, and of total examination were significantly reduced in measurement with Access. In normal eyes, there were significant differences between the two devices in Number (N), Superior Ratio (SR), Inferior Ratio (IR), Superior/Nasal (S/N), Max Modulation (MM), Superior Maximum (SM), Normalized Superior Area (NSA) and Ellipse Standard Deviation (ESD), and significant correlation in N, SR, IR, S/N, MM, SM, NSA, Normalized Inferior Area (NIA), ESD and Discriminant Analysis. In glaucomatous eyes, there were significant differences in SR, IR, S/N, MM, Ellipse Modulation and NIA, and significant correlation between the two devices in all parameters. Access is of use in reducing both the patient burden and the time spent on daily medical examination; however, attention should be paid regarding data compatibility between GDx and Access.
