Abstract
Disk hemorrhages occur in a frequency of approximately 1.2% in adult Chinese. Major associated factors are glaucomatous optic neuropathy and age. Presence of a disk hemorrhage suggested glaucomatous optic nerve damage with a positive predictive value of approximately 20%. About 9% of glaucomatous eyes showed a disk hemorrhage at the time of examination.
