Macular Thickness for Glaucoma Diagnosis
U SchmidtKlinische Monatsblätter für Augenheilkunde 2010; 227: 981-986
The Zeiss OCT 3 optical coherance tomograph was use to map the peripillary region and the macula to analyse their correlation with each other and with glaucoma status. Both macular and nerve fibre layer thicknesses (RNFL) as measured by OCT showed statistically significant correlations with glaucoma. The strongest correlation between the diagnosis glaucoma and location of measurement was shown by the inferior macula. Macular and RNFL thickness measurements made with the Stratus OCT 3 may have utility in the clinical assessment of glaucoma.
