- Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of the ISNT rule in normal eyes of Koreans., Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 890 subjects with fundus photographs and evaluated the presence of the cup and ISNT rule satisfaction. If the ISNT rule was violated, the quadrants in which the neuroretinal rim was thinnest and thickest, respectively, were evaluated., Results: Among 890 eyes, 84.7% showed the cup. The subjects without the cup were significantly younger and more hyperopic. Among 754 eyes with the cup, 53.5% showed ISNT rule satisfaction. In 351 eyes violating the ISNT rule, the most common quadrant showing the thickest neuroretinal rim was the inferior (65.5%), and the thinnest, the temporal (98.3%)., Conclusion: The cup was absent in 15% of the assessed eyes. Only about half of eyes with the cup showed ISNT rule satisfaction. Even in eyes violating ISNT rule, the inferior was the most common quadrant with the thickest neuroretinal rim and the temporal, the thinnest.
