Research Article: Posterior Pole Asymmetry Analysis as a Diagnostic Tool in Glaucoma Suspects: An Electrophysiological Approach
Introduction:
Glaucoma is a neuropathy of the optic nerve characterized by progressive damage to the fibers and cell bodies of the retinal ganglion cells (RGC). Glaucomatous damage produces thinning of the RGC and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) layers, and structural changes in optic nerve head (ONH) morphology, and many of these changes can be identified prior to RGC cell death. , However, as the disease initially presents asymptomatically with an occult period, progressive cupping of the disc and thinning of the RNFL may…
