Comparison of glaucoma diagnostic ability of ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer according to the range around the fovea

BMC Ophthalmology Jan 07, 2020

Jung JH, et al. - Using wide-angle, swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), researchers contrasted the glaucoma diagnostic ability of the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thickness depending on the range around the fovea. To assess the glaucoma diagnostic utility, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves were measured. For this investigation, 61 glaucoma eyes and 59 normal eyes have been evaluated. In a narrower area, the minimum GCIPL thickness has a better diagnostic value for the distinction between glaucoma and normal eyes compared with the GCIPL parameters acquired from wider fovea-centered areas. They anticipate that improvements in SS-OCT image acquisition protocols will contribute to improvements in the identification of glaucomatous damage using SS-OCT.
