Table 4. Definition of Glaucoma by the International Society of Geographical and Epidemiological Ophthalmology (ISGEO) and the Number of Subjects of the Beijing Eye Study in Each Category.
Category | Definition | Number of Eyes |
Category 1 | definition 1AVCDR ≥ 97.5th percentile + VFD | 50 |
definition 1B | VCDR Asymmetry ≥ 97.5th Percentile + VFD | 21 |
definition 1C | Rim Width ≤ 0.1VCDR + VFD | 41 |
Category 2 | definition 2AVCDR ≥ 99.5th percentile | 42 |
definition 2B | VCDR Asymmetry ≥ 99.5th Percentile | 20 |
Category 3 | definition 3Visual acuity <3/60 + IOP>99.5th Percentile | 16 |

Glaucoma | Total | 138 |
VCDR: Vertical cup/disc ratio.
VFD: Visual field defect.
IOP: Intraocular pressure.
The total sum of subjects adds up to more than the real total number of glaucomatous eye, since there was an overlap between the categories or definitions within each category.
