Description |
Patients with optic nerve drusen may have other diseases of the optic nerve, including glaucoma, complicating the evaluation of visual field defects. In diseases of the optic nerve, visual field defects result from loss of ganglion cells and thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer. We performed scanning laser polarimetry using the GDx Nerve Fiber Layer Analyzer on patients with optic nerve drusen in an attempt to determine if there were characteristic patterns of nerve fiber layer thinning unique to optic nerve drusen. |
