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
/ filtering surgery
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.
