Proximal Location of Optic Disc Hemorrhage and Glaucoma Progression.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Although optic disc hemorrhage (DH) is widely recognized as a glaucoma risk factor, its clinical relevance in relation to proximity has not been investigated.

Objective

To determine the association of the proximal location of DH with glaucoma progression.

Design, setting, and participants

In this longitudinal observational cohort study, 146 eyes of 146 patients at Seoul National University Hospital who had had 1 or more DH with at least 5 years of follow-up and had at least 5 reliable visual field examinations were included. These data were analyzed January 10, 2010, through June 27, 2017.

Exposures

Laminar, marginal, rim, and parapapillary subtypes of DH were identified based on their respective proximal locations. The laminar and marginal subtypes
