Aim of the study: We have attempted to determine whether if there is a relationship between four parameters measured by Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (Rim Volume, Mean Cup Depth, Maximum Cup Depth, Mean Retinal Fiber Layer Thickness (RNFL) and visual field indices (Mean Sensitivity (MS), Mean Defect (MD), Loss Variance (LV)).

Material and Methods: We have evaluated 226 eyes (114 subjects) of primary open angle glaucoma patients. We have used HRT (Interzeag AG, Switzerland) to determine visual field indices.

Results: Correlations between each of four studied HRT parameters and each significant correlation among all studied subjects between Rim Volume/MS, MD, LV: Mean Cup Depth/MS, MD, LV: Mean RNFL/MS, MD, LV.

Conclusion: All studied correlations were statistically significant except correlation between Mean Cup Depth and MD and between Mean Cup Depth and LV.
