Methods for analyzing retinal tomography maps to detect patterns of optic nerve diseases such as glaucoma, optic neuritis, anterior ischemic optic neuropathy are disclosed in this invention. The areas of mapping include the macula centered on the fovea, and the region centered on the optic nerve head. The retinal layers that are analyzed include the nerve fiber, ganglion cell, inner plexiform and inner nuclear layers and their combinations. The overall retinal thickness can also be analyzed. Pattern analysis are applied to the maps to create single parameter for diagnosis and progression analysis of glaucoma and optic neuropathy.

La présente invention concerne des procédés d'analyse de cartes tomographiques rétiniennes en vue de détecter des motifs de maladies du nerf optique telles qu'un glaucome, une neurite optique, une neuropathie optique ischémique antérieure. Ces régions de mappage incluent la macula centrée sur la fovéa, et la région centrée sur la tête du nerf optique. Les couches rétiniennes qui sont analysées incluent la fibre nerveuse, la cellule ganglionnaire, la couche plexiforme interne et les couches nucléaires internes, ainsi que leurs combinaisons. L'épaisseur rétinienne générale peut également être analysée. L'analyse des motifs peut être appliquée aux cartes afin de générer un paramètre unique utile pour le diagnostic et l'analyse de la progression d'un glaucome et d'une neuropathie optique.
