Variation of nerve fibre layer thickness measurements with age and ethnicity by scanning laser polarimetry.
AIMS Scanning laser polarimetry is a new technique allowing quantitative analysis of the retinal nerve fibre layer in vivo. This technique was employed to investigate the variation of the retinal nerve fibre layer thickness in a group of normal subjects of different ages and ethnic groups. METHODS 150 normal volunteers of different ages and ethnic groups were recruited for this study. Three c...
متن کاملEffects of artefacts on scanning laser polarimetry of retinal nerve fibre layer thickness measurement.
AIMS To investigate the effects of artefacts on scanning laser polarimetry of the retinal nerve fibre layer. METHODS Six eyes of six normal volunteers and an artificial nerve fibre layer were examined using the nerve fibre analyser II. The retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFLT) was measured in each of four 90 degree quadrants, superior (S), temporal (T), inferior (I), and nasal (N), at 1...

Aims—To investigate the eVects of artefacts on scanning laser polarimetry of the retinal nerve fibre layer. Methods—Six eyes of six normal volunteers and an artificial nerve fibre layer were examined using the nerve fibre analyser II. The retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFLT) was measured in each of four 90 degree quadrants, superior (S), temporal (T), inferior (I), and nasal (N), at 1.5 ...
متن کاملScanning laser polarimetry of the retinal nerve fibre layer in primary open angle and capsular glaucoma.
AIMS To evaluate the clinical value of scanning laser polarimetry with the nerve fibre analyser type II in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and capsular glaucoma. METHODS Scanning laser polarimetry was performed on one eye of 30 patients suffering from POAG, 25 patients suffering from capsular glaucoma, and on 35 healthy control subjects. The retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness value...
متن کاملComparison of algorithms for detection of localised nerve fibre layer defects using scanning laser polarimetry.
AIMS To evaluate different algorithms used to analyse retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFL) data obtained by scanning laser polarimetry, in order to compare their relative abilities to discriminate between patients with glaucomatous localised nerve fibre layer defects and normal subjects. METHODS 48 eyes of 48 glaucomatous patients with localised RNFL defects and 53 eyes of 53 healthy su...
