Diagnostic 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...
متن کاملThe Optic Nerve in Glaucoma
To recognize and to assess glaucomatous changes at the optic nerve, it is important to know the characteristics of the normal optic disc. As in the other biological variables, the appearance of the optic disc varies widely among healthy individuals. This fact is complicate the recognition of the pathological changes. ‘Optic Disc’ is frequently used to describe the portion of the optic nerve cli...
متن کاملDetecting 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 کاملOptic nerve and choroidal circulation in glaucoma.
PURPOSE To investigate the circulation of the optic nerve head and choroid in patients with glaucoma. METHODS Laser Doppler flowmetry was used to determine optic nerve head relative blood velocity (ONVel), volume (ONVol), and flow (ONFlow) in 19 primary open-angle glaucoma patients and 15 age-matched healthy control subjects. In each subject, determinations were obtained from four sites on th...
