Abstract
Thickness measurements of the retinal nerve fiber layer in glaucomas have become an important tool for diagnosis and follow-up of progression. High image resolution and advanced evaluation algorithms led to this achievement. In the following OCT anatomy, imaging technique, normative values, monitoring of progression and the influence of artefacts on OCT measurements are matter of discussion. Knowledge of capabilities and pitfalls of RNF imaging with OCT should help to integrate this technique into daily patient routine.
