Long-term variability of retinal nerve fibre layer thickness measurement in patients with glaucoma of African and European descents

CONCLUSIONS: Although some predictors were identified, long-term RNFLT variability appeared small for both AD and ED eyes. Moreover, the racial difference did not remain once intervening CE, the strongest predictor of variability, was eliminated. Our findings inform on strategies to optimise structural assessment and suggest that, when accounting for relevant factors, RNFLT is reliable across races.PMID:38164556 | DOI:10.1136/bjo-2023-324404
