AIM: To analyze the difference of optic disc parameters by HRT-II in the patients at early and late stages of chronic angle-closure glaucoma. METHODS: The optic disk parameters of the patients at early and late stages of chronic angle-closure glaucoma were measured on both eyes by Heidelberg Retina Tomograph-II (HRT-II). RESULTS: The optic disk parameters at early and late stages were compared for each patient. There were statistically significant differences in rim area (RA), rim volume (RV), cup shape measure (CSM) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness determined by HRT-II between early stage parameters and late stage ones (P < 0.01), but there was no significant difference in height variation contour (HVC) between early stage outcome and late stage one (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Maintenance of normal intraocular pressure, periodical examinations of visual field and HRI-II, and tracking the changes of neuropathy have great significance for early detection of chronic pathologic changes and saving the visual acuity.
