“…Also the asymmetry between the right and left optic nerve head of the same subject is considered to be an important predictor of the disease. 14 Progressive optic disc cupping has been shown to precede visual field loss in patients with OH, 15,16 and in unilateral glaucoma. 17 The asymmetry of the CDR between the two eyes has been shown by some but not all studies to predict the development of glaucomatous visual field loss in patients with elevated IOP.…”

“…Evidently, thinning of the retina in the peripapillary area, which is common both in myopia [12][13][14] and in glaucoma [15][16][17][18][19][20][21], causes the instrument to measure the deep layers (e.g. chorocapillaries) in addition and not exclusively the retinal capillary bed.…”

“…It is conceivable that if the thickness of the retina is reduced, flow values from the underlying choroid may be obtained on images focused on the retinal surface. It is known that in glaucoma patients the thickness of the retinal nerve fibre layer may be considerably reduced [33][34][35][36][37][38]. It has been shown that once choroidal measurements are involved, the obtained values may be much higher [32].…”
