ABSTRACT:
A method of making reproducible and accurate longitudinal studies of neuroretinal rim area establishes a reference plane based on height values of a readily established contour line at the outer rim of the optic disc. The reference plane may be used to establish a second inner contour line, between which contour lines area is measured.
