AI to Identify Strain-Sensitive Regions of the Optic Nerve Head Linked to Functional Loss in Glaucoma

Key Points

• The aim is to analyze the relationship between strain in the optic nerve head and functional loss in glaucoma.
• Utilized AI algorithms for classification of glaucomatous visual field loss patterns.
• Focus on neuroretinal rim strain and its impact on axonal injury.
• Assessment of strain in the optic nerve head as a predictive measure for functional outcomes.
• Identified the neuroretinal rim as the most critical region for classification of functional loss.
• Highlighted that rim strain significantly influences axonal injury and functional decline in glaucoma.
