Baseline Predictor Points for Baseline Predictor
0 1 2 3 4
Age <45 45 to <55 55 to <65 65 to < 75 ≥75
Mean IOP (mm Hg) <22 22 to <24 24 to <26 26 to <28 ≥28
Mean CCT (μ) ≥600 576–600 551–575 526–550 =525
Mean Vertical cup/disc ratio by contour <0.3 0.3 to <0.4 0.4 to <0.5 0.5 to <0.6 ≥0.6
Mean PSD (dB) <1.8 1.8 to <2.0 2 to <2.4 2.4 to <2.8 ≥2.8
