It had been shown in many studies that glaucomatous retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) damage could be observed and measured even in the absence of perimetric abnormalities. Detection of the damage of RNFL is one of the important methods to diagnose glaucoma earlier. Measurement of retinal nerve with advanced techniques of laser and computer can produce accurate and reproducible results and it is available to detect glaucomatous progression. This article aims to review the research advance in quantification of the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness with optical coherence tomography and scanning laser polarimeter. LA: Chinese
