Differences in Functional Loss Associated with Ganglion Cell Complex Thinning between Patients with Glaucoma and Postoperative Macular Hole

Abstract

The thinning of the GCC affects the RGC function in the macula area differently for patients with OAG and patients after MH closure.

Alterations of Photopic Negative Response of Multifocal Electroretinogram in Patients with Glaucoma

“…These changes are similar to those obtained for the PhNR of the focal macular ERGs. 13,14,17,25,26 This indicates that the origin of the N2 of the slowsequence mfERG is the same as that of the PhNR of the focal macular ERG. Based on evidence obtained from experimental and clinical researches, the PhNR of the focal macular ERG originates from the neural activity of RGCs in the macular area.…”

“…Based on evidence obtained from experimental and clinical researches, the PhNR of the focal macular ERG originates from the neural activity of RGCs in the macular area. 13,14,17,[25][26][27] Thus, the N2 component of the mfERGs recorded from the central area represents the RGC activity of the corresponding retinal area.…”

Comparisons of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness after Indocyanine Green, Brilliant Blue G, or Triamcinolone Acetonide-Assisted Macular Hole Surgery

“…It would be interesting to compare ganglion cell complex map including RGC cell bodies [ 35 ] among the groups after MH surgery. It has been reported that the GCC thickness is reduced after macular hole surgery [ 36 – 38 ].…”
