Experimental: group 1
patient with a diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma will undergo 'RNFL and BMO-MRW SD-OCT' measurements with Heidelberg Spectralis SD-OCT old protocoll and Glaucoma Premium Module (new) protocoll, which in addition to RNFL measurements include measurement of Bruch's Membrane Opening-based minimum rim width (BMO-MRW).

Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to assess and compare the repeatability of SD-OCT (Spectralis™ OCT, Version 6.0, Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) RNFL thickness measurements with the new software (method B) and with the previous method of measurement (method A) in patients with glaucoma.
It is a prospective, not blinded, not randomised, monocentric study. Inclusion of 50 patients with a diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), that will be recruited from the ophthalmology outpatient department of the UniversityHospital Zurich, Switzerland. All patients will undergo a full ophthalmic examination including measurement of refraction, best corrected visual acuity, examination of anterior and posterior compartment and measurement of the intraocular pressure. On the same day they will have 3 OCT examinations with a new method of measurement (method B).On the same day the first 10 patients will undergo also 3 OCT examinations with the previous method (method A) and they will get an other 3 OCT examinations with method B by a second observer. For this 10 patients the next consultation (3 months +/- 1 month) the 3 OCT examinations with method B will be repeated by the first observer.
Primary objectives are coefficient of variations (COV) of method A and B; Intra-class-correlations (ICC) of method A and B.
