Popis: PURPOSE: To investigate the correlation between the measurements of the cup/retrobulbar optic nerve diameter (C/OND) proportion obtained by high-resolution 20-MHz B-mode ultrasound (US) and those of the cup/disc ratio (C/D) obtained by fundus biomicroscopy (BIO) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS: Thirty eyes of 15 glaucomatous patients with any C/D proportion were studied. All patients underwent examination of the vertical C/D by BIO with a 78D lens and time-domain OCT analysis, as well as the vertical C/OND proportion using 20-MHz US measurements. All data were analyzed by correlation and agreement tests. RESULTS: The Spearman test showed a strong correlation between C/D results obtained by BIO and the measurements of C/OND (US) (r=0.788, p
