Correlations between different measures of neuroretinal rim area and four outcome measures, in a cohort of 221 subjects.

	CSLT Rim Area	Horizontal Rim Area	Minimum Rim Width	Minimum Rim Area
MD	0.321	0.403	0.546	0.534
MD_1/C	0.294	0.343	0.489	0.471
MD_1/C(cap)	0.305	0.374	0.526	0.505
RNFL thickness	0.330	0.482	0.680	0.676

CSLT Rim Area represents the rim area from confocal scanning laser tomography; Horizontal Rim Area represents the rim area within the plane of Bruch's Membrane Opening using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT); Minimum Rim Width represents the width from Bruch's Membrane Opening to the Inner Limiting Membrane, tangentially perpendicular, using SD-OCT, averaged across radial scans; Minimum Rim Area represents the minimum area from Bruch's Membrane Opening to the Inner Limiting Membrane from SD-OCT, summed across sectors as defined by the radial scans. MD represents the Mean Deviation from perimetry in dB; MD_1/C represents the average total deviation expressed on a scale that is proportional to 1/Contrast; MD_1/C(cap) is calculated the same as MD_1/C but after capping all total deviation values at zero to reduce variability; and RNFL thickness represents the average peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness as measured by OCT.
