Purpose: To evaluate the structure/function relationship between visual field sensitivity and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measured by StratusOCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, CA) and GDx VCC (Laser Diagnostic Technologies, Inc., San Diego, CA).

Design: Observational case series.
Participants: Three subjects with, respectively, impending angle-closure attack, plateau iris syndrome, and phacomorphic glaucoma were recruited.
Objective: To evaluate macular nerve fiber layer (NFL) thickness in glaucomatous damage by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and to compare its discriminating power for glaucoma and glaucoma suspects with that of total macular thickness and peripapillary NFL thickness.
Design: Cross-sectional, case-control, comparative study.
Participants: A total of 133 eyes from 133 subjects including 46 normal eyes, 48 glaucoma-suspect eyes, and 39 glaucoma eyes were enrolled.
Purpose: To evaluate the performance of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and optic nerve head (ONH) parameters analyzed with different offsets of reference plane in detecting early glaucomatous changes and in correlation with visual function using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study consisting of 41 normal subjects and 30 with early and 40 with advanced glaucoma. RNFL thickness and ONH parameters were measured with reference planes positioned at 95, 150, and 205 microm above the level of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).
