Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how glaucoma affects the optical attenuation coefficient of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) using Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) images.
- Researchers analyzed OCT images from 10 healthy eyes and 30 glaucomatous eyes at various severity levels, measuring RNFL reflectivity and its relationship to visual function.
- Results showed that the RNFL's attenuation coefficient significantly decreased with increased glaucoma severity, particularly in specific locations around the optic nerve head, indicating its potential as a new method for assessing glaucoma.
