Description Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickening, but not acute axonal injury, is readily demonstrated by OCT in optic nerve head swelling (ONH). Since scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) measures RNFL by polarizing features of intact axons, combining both methods might reveal differing mechanisms within RNFL swelling.
