Patients with glaucoma who experienced rapid thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer during initial follow-up were more likely to have visual field decline over an extended period of time, according to a study.
“The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the magnitude of RNFL thinning seen during an initial period of follow-up of glaucoma patients and the magnitude of concurrent and subsequent visual field loss seen during an extended follow-up period of the same cohort,” the study authors wrote. “We hypothesized that fast initial RNFL (Read more...)
