Red Disease

This is a term to denote a false positive OCT scan in which the patient is diagnosed as having Glaucoma simply based on the OCT having many red boxes in the Statistical Analysis. However, careful interpretation would either show this to be a wrong classification due to misinterpretation and/or a case of a Glaucoma Suspect with a normal visual field.
