AVG = average quadrant; INF = inferior quadrant; NAS = nasal quadrant; SUP = superior quadrant; RNFL = retinal nerve fiber layer; TEMP = temporal quadrant.

Agreement is expressed in terms of the mean difference between measurements from the 2 instruments (mean difference) and the 95% limits of agreements between the measurements (range). Correlation is expressed as the r 2 with the level of significance (P value). Mean difference = RTVue minus Stratus.
