purpose: to quantify the intraobserver reproducibility of retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) measurements using scanning laser polarimetry with variable corneal compensation in glaucoma suspect patients. methods: twenty-six eyes of 26 glaucoma suspect patients were included. complete ophthalmologic examination and standard automated perimetry were performed for all of them. rnfl measurements were...

purpose : this study was designed to assess and compare the thickness of the peripapillar retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) in amblyopic and normal eyes in unilateral strabismic ambelyopia using scanning laser polarimeter. methods : scanning laser polarimetry was performed on 17 patients with unilateral strabismic amblyopia who had an absence of neurologic diseases or glaucoma with a minimum age...

purpose : to evaluate the correlations between visual field (vf) defects with retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) thickness in nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (naion) eyes, compare different gdx parameters with the other healthy contralateral eyes, and calculate receiver operating characteristic (roc) curve for the gdx parameters methods : eighteen patients with unilateral naion fr...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Retinal nerve fibre layer analysis by scanning laser polarimetry has been shown to facilitate diagnosis of glaucoma while its role in glaucoma follow up is still unclear. A major difficulty is the slow reduction of retinal nerve fibre layer thickness in glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Eyes of patients were studied after acute retrobulbar optic nerve lesion in order to evaluate th...

OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic accuracy of scanning laser polarimetry. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 95 healthy subjects and 102 patients with glaucoma met all inclusion criteria. Data collected on each participant included an automated visual field examination, stereoview optic nerve head photographs, intraocular pressure measurement, and a screening and full scanning laser polarime...

purpose : to compare retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) profile in subjects with myopia and emmetropia using gdx variable corneal compensator (vcc) methods : besides ophthalmologic standard examination (refraction, visual acuity and slit-lamp examination, applanation tonometry, and funduscopy), perimetry and scanning laser polarimetry (slp) were performed. 171 healthy age-matched subjects with lo...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to analyse the thickness of the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) of pulmonary tuberculosis patients on ethambutol and isoniazid. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective cohort study where patients with newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis requiring chemotherapy, including ethambutol and isoniazid, were imaged using scanning laser polarimetry. Thei...

AIMS To evaluate the relation between the optic disc size and the thickness of the peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) in normal Japanese subjects by means of scanning laser polarimetry. METHODS Scanning laser polarimetry was performed in 60 normal subjects. One eye of each subject was randomly selected for study. Using a scanning laser polarimeter, the integral of RNFL thickness w...
