Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) and Alzheimer disease (AD), compared to healthy individuals.
- Results showed that both NTG and AD patients had significantly reduced RNFL and GCC thickness, along with increased global loss volume (GLV) compared to controls; however, no significant differences were found between the NTG and AD groups.
- The findings suggest that measuring RNFL and GCC thickness, as well as GLV rates, could aid in diagnosing AD and offer insights into the disease's progression.
