Determining OCT reading

[LadyPit]

I am having some difficulties determining whether or not my OCT reading has worsened since last year. I  currently had one done

In 2007 my readings were(mm/sq)
OS
Disk area 2.546
Cup area .353
Rim area 2.193
Cup/Disk Area Ratio .139
Cup Disk Horiz Ratio .398
Cup/Disk Vert. Ratio .346
OD
Disk area 2.995
Cup area .346
Rim area 2.649
Cup/Disk Area Ratio .116
Cup Disk Horiz Ratio .371
Cup/Disk Vert. Ratio .3


2008 readings are
OS
Disk area 2.118
Cup area .421
Rim area 1.697
Cup/Disk Area Ratio .199
Cup Disk Horiz Ratio .461
Cup/Disk Vert. Ratio .447 RNFL THICKNESS IS 76
OD
Disk area 2.329
Cup area .305
Rim area 2.024
Cup/Disk Area Ratio .131
Cup Disk Horiz Ratio .39
Cup/Disk Vert. Ratio .314   RNFL THICKNESS IS 126

Can someone help me decipher this?

Thanks

I don't use that instrument so I don't feel I should make any comments regarding its interpretation. I will say that most glaucoma specialists done feel that OCT determination of cup/disk loss is at the point of accuracy that they base important treatment decisions on it.
