Measurement of tortuosity.
Notes: Two concentric circles with diameters of 5 disc diameters (5DD) and 10 disc diameters (10DD) were drawn centered on the optic disc. NIH ImageJ software was used to measure the arc and chord lengths of vessel segments as shown. Tortuosity was calculated by dividing the arc length by the chord length of each vessel segment.
