| Description |
High definition optical coherence tomography (HD-OCT) reveals retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning in chronic optic nerve injury. However, in acute optic nerve injury, the optic disc and axons are often swollen, preventing RNFL thickness evaluation of early neuron loss. Identifying early signs of nerve loss is essential for prompting treatment and testing therapies. We investigated whether GCL thinning occurs before RNFL loss in eyes with acute optic neuropathy, and if early GCL loss correlates with permanent deficits. |
