Structure-function relationship in glaucoma: Optical coherence tomography en face imaging vs. red-free fundus photography.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

To analyse retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) defect measurements obtained from red-free fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) en face imaging, respectively, and to compare them for the strength of the structure-function association.

Subjects/methods

Two hundred and fifty-six glaucomatous eyes of 256 patients with localized RNFL defect on red-free fundus photography were enrolled. A subgroup analysis included 81 highly myopic eyes (≤ -6.0 dioptres). Angular width of RNFL defect was compared between red-free fundus photography (i.e., red-free RNFL defect) and OCT en face imaging (i.e., en face RNFL defect). The correlation between angular width of each RNFL defect and functional outcomes, reported as mean deviation (MD) and pattern stan
