• Conditions: Unspecified glaucoma,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2020/06/025685
• Lead Sponsor: Department of ophthalmology

Brief Summary

The present  study is being undertaken to identify and evaluate sonographic optic disc diameter in patients with opaque cornea and compare it with patients with clear media. It will also compare the accuracy of ultrasound in picking up optic cup ratios in patients with various optic disc size
