Question

Estimating the cup-to-disk ratio is the best choice for indicating the level of progression in glaucoma, as it provides information on the amount of optic nerve damage. A larger cup-to-disk ratio indicates more damage and potentially worsening glaucoma. Checking the macula, verifying a red reflex, and assessing extraocular movements do not specifically provide information on glaucoma progression.
