Assessment of the retinal nerve fiber layer in clinical trials of glaucoma neuroprotection.
Assessment of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) is appealing for use in clinical trials of glaucoma neuroprotection, as it is directly correlated with loss of ganglion cells, which is assumed to be a primary event in glaucomatous damage. Qualitative assessment of the RNFL includes ophthalmoscopy, color stereophotography, and red-free monochromatic photography. In contrast, confocal scanning ...
متن کاملDetection of glaucoma with scanning laser polarimetry.
OBJECTIVE To determine which retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measures obtained with scanning laser polarimetry are most useful in detecting early to moderate glaucomatous visual field loss. SUBJECTS AND METHODS One eye from 84 healthy individuals and 83 patients with early to moderate glaucomatous visual field loss (167 eyes) was assessed with a scanning laser polarimeter (Laser Diagnostic T...
متن کاملAxonal loss from acute optic neuropathy documented by scanning laser polarimetry.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Retinal nerve fibre layer analysis by scanning laser polarimetry has been shown to facilitate diagnosis of glaucoma while its role in glaucoma follow up is still unclear. A major difficulty is the slow reduction of retinal nerve fibre layer thickness in glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Eyes of patients were studied after acute retrobulbar optic nerve lesion in order to evaluate th...
متن کاملCorrelation between frequency doubling technology perimetry and scanning laser polarimetry in glaucoma suspects and glaucomatous eyes.
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the frequency doubling technology (FDT) screening algorithm and parapapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in the eyes of glaucoma suspects and patients with open angle glaucoma. FDT C20-1 screening program and a scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) system (GDx-NFA) was used to assess 53 glaucomatous eyes, 53 glaucoma sus...
متن کاملDiffuse glaucomatous structural and functional damage in the hemifield without significant pattern loss.
OBJECTIVES To compare the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and retinal sensitivity in the normal visual hemifield of glaucomatous eyes with localized visual field loss with those of normal eyes and eyes with suspected glaucoma, and to evaluate the relationship between RNFL atrophy and glaucoma severity. METHODS One randomly selected eye of each subject underwent standard automated p...
