[Analysis of Glaucomatous Changes of the Macula Using Optical Coherence Tomography].

CONCLUSION: Using SD-OCT, single retinal layers of the macular region can be scanned and measured automatically. In glaucoma, a decrease in thickness of the inner retinal layers containing ganglion cells and their axons or dendrites could be demonstrated compared to healthy eyes. No corresponding difference in thickness could be found for the outer retinal layers using SD-OCT measurements. PMID: 30736078 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
