To evaluate the sectorial thickness of single retinal layers and optic nerve using spectral domain optic coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and highlight the parameters with the best diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing between normal and glaucoma subjects at different stages of the disease. <jats:italic>Material and Methods<\/jats:italic>. For this cross-sectional study, 25 glaucomatous (49 eyes) and 18 age-matched healthy subjects (35 eyes) underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination including visual field testing. Sectorial thickness values of each retinal layer and of the optic nerve were measured using SD-OCT Glaucoma Module Premium Edition (GMPE) software. Each parameter was compared between the groups, and the layers and sectors with the best area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were identified. Correlation of visual field index with the most relevant structural parameters was also evaluated. <jats:italic>Results and Discussion<\/jats:italic>. All subjects were grouped according to stage as follows: Controls (CTRL); Early Stage Group (EG) (Stage 1\u2009+\u2009Stage 2); Advanced Stage Group (AG) (Stage 3\u2009+\u2009Stage 4\u2009+\u2009Stage 5). mGCL TI, mGCL TO, mIPL TO, mean mGCL, cpRNFLt NS, and cpRNFLt TI showed the best results in terms of AUC according classification proposed by Swets (0.9\u2009&lt;\u2009AUC\u2009&lt;\u20091.0). These parameters also showed significantly different values among group when CTRL vs EG, CTRL vs AG, and EG vs AG were compared. SD-OCT examination showed significant sectorial thickness differences in most of the macular layers when glaucomatous patients at different stages of the disease were compared each other and to the controls.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/6581846","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,8]],"date-time":"2018-10-08T19:46:49Z","timestamp":1539028009000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Assessment of Macular and Optic Nerve Alterations in Patients with Glaucoma and Correlation with Visual Field Index"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2018","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3725-8211","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alessio","family":"Martucci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Unit, Department of Experimental Medicine, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1929-5833","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Nicola","family":"Toschi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedicine and Prevention, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Radiology, Athinoula A.
