There was a moderate association between the VF regions and the RNFL thickness in patients with glaucomatous optic neuropathy, as measured by OCT. Within sectors of the RNFL, there was some overlap in the representation of the VF regions. The map obtained validates previously reported clinical findings and contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between structure and function in patients with glaucoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
