Percentage macular ganglion cell complex and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer loss in different stages of glaucoma.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the percentage differences in ganglion cell complex (GCC) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) parameters in fellow eyes of the same patient with varying severities of glaucomatous damage. As only the eyes of the same patient with different severities of glaucoma were included in the present study, it could be inferred that the difference in parameters represents the loss leading to the next stage of glaucoma.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 136 adult primary glaucoma eyes of 68 patients.
