Dr. Felipe Medeiros offers an update on recent approaches for integrating structural and functional information for improving diagnosis, staging, and detection of glaucoma progression. These approaches have ranged from use of Bayesian statistical methodologies to the development of combined indexes integrating structural and functional measurements. A combined structure and function index (CSFI) has been described that uses estimates of RGC counts obtained by previously derived empirical formulas in an attempt to produce a common scale to express structural and functional data. Several previous studies have reported on the use of this combined scales for diagnosis, staging, and detecting glaucomatous progression.
