Description |
Scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) can reveal acute injury (loss of birefringence) in non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) but not with other causes of optic nerve head swelling (IOVS 2012). We hypothesize that regional RNFL alterations, shown by SLP, in acute NAION can correlate with acute and chronic regional visual field deficits, providing an in vivo biomarker for irreversible injury of optic nerve axons. |
