Title

Best Approach to Diagnosing Early Glaucoma

Purpose	How to detect early glaucoma, from technical possibilities to clinical relevance.
Methods	Presentation of selected clinical cases and recent literature to illustrate the contribution of functional and structural measurements to detect early glaucoma
Results	Information obtained by OCT (structure) and automated visual field testing (function) is not redundant but complementary.
Conclusion	Both OCT imaging and automated visual field testing are needed to detect early glaucoma. However, the clinical implications of the diagnosis of early glaucoma will depend on the patient’s profile and to a certain extent on the testing strategy that generated the diagnosis.
Conflict of interest	No
