Signification of thickness retinal nerve fiber layer for the early diagnosis of glaucoma
Chair of Ophthalmology Avicenna TSMU
In a review of the literature describes the modern methods of early diagnosis of primary openangle glaucoma, evaluated their advantages and disadvantages. The evidence degree of these
diagnostic methods are analyzed based on literature data. The information concerning thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) as a diagnostic criteria for glaucomatous process is done. The comparative characteristic of methods of its measurement is reported. The main parameters that characterize the initial stage of glaucoma, are the reduction of average thickness of RNFL peripapillary retina (average RNFL) and a decrease of RNFL thickness in the lower quadrant in the early stages. At progression of glaucomatous process a significant reduction in retinal peripapillary RNFL thickness is registered in all quadrants.
Keywords: primary open-angle glaucoma, the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer.
