ASSESSMENT OF CLINICAL AND IMAGISTIC STRUCTURAL PROGRESSION IN GLAUCOMA

Rom J Ophthalmol. 2015 Jul-Sep;59(3):129-32.

Abstract

Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy, characterized by loss of retinal ganglion cells and retinal nerve fiber layer as well as visual field loss. Therefore, in glaucoma, the correlation between structure and function is important, since it can be useful for tracking glaucomatous changes and for following the progression of the disease.
