Overview

Evaluation shows significant RNFL thinning in primary open-angle glaucoma patients, implying SD-OCT's utility for detection and monitoring.

Key Points

  • Significantly reduced peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness is identified in glaucoma patients compared to controls.
  • The mean RNFL thickness in POAG patients is 78.4 μm, while controls have 96.7 μm, a major difference.
  • Assessment utilized spectral domain optical coherence tomography across 120 participants, including 60 with primary open-angle glaucoma.
  • These findings underscore the importance of SD-OCT for detecting structural changes in glaucoma, aiding clinical decision-making.
