Detecting optic nerve head deformation and retinal nerve fiber layer thinning in glaucoma progression
The application of digital imaging technologies including confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (CSLO), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) has significantly improved the detection of optic nerve head (ONH) deformation and progressive retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning for assessment of glaucoma progression. Algorithms for change analysis such as top...
متن کاملOptic Nerve Head and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Imaging in Glaucoma Diagnosis
Glaucoma is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disease. It is defined as chronic progressive optic neuropathy with typical optic disk and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) changes with corresponding visual field defect. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is considered only a major risk factor and not a diagnostic criterion. At present, clinically visible RNFL defects are considered as the sensitiv...
متن کاملDetection of glaucoma progression with stratus OCT retinal nerve fiber layer, optic nerve head, and macular thickness measurements.
PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the ability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), optic nerve head, and macular thickness parameters to detect progressive structural damage in glaucoma. METHODS This observational cohort study included 253 eyes of 253 patients. Images were obtained annually with the Stratus OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, CA) along with...
متن کاملEvaluation of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thinning in Myopic Glaucoma: Impact of Optic Disc Morphology.
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of optic disc torsion on the rate of progressive retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning in patients with myopic open-angle glaucoma. Methods We included 102 patients with myopic open-angle glaucoma accompanied by glaucomatous damage confined to a single hemiretina who were followed up over a 5-year period. We divided the subject...
متن کاملDiagnostic Methods for Optic Nerve Head and Retinal Nerve Fiber Evaluation in Glaucoma
Glaucoma which is a leading cause of blindness in the world is not a single disease but a group of disorders with diverse clinical manifestations. If not controlled at an early stage, it causes irreversible damage to vision. Proper medication slows down or even halts its growth. Identifying glaucoma at a very early stage is vital and at the same time difficult. Careful evaluation of Optic nerve...
