“…The most interesting factor is, however, that very often, despite the recovery of the RNFL thickness following a reduction in IOP, this increased thickness is not matched by an improvement in the automatic visual field perimetric indices. 8,46 Our CDI revealed a significant increase in the RI in the CRA which supplies the surface nerve fibre layer and very few or none in the prelaminar region of the optic nerve. 48,49 These data were significantly correlated with the decrease in thickness in the inferior quadrant of RNFL.…”

“…42 These data are, however, much debated since, although they are confirmed by some experimental studies, 43,44 frequently in single sectors, 45 in others no optic nerve modifications related to pressure variations have been found. 46,47 It is still not clear what causes an improvement in the RNFL following a reduction in IOP. One hypothesis explains the increase in RNFL in cases with a reduction in IOP as oedema owing to the sudden reduction in pressure following the filtration operation.…”

“…There are studies investigating changes in optic disc topography demonstrated by the HRT, [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] and changes in the RNFL thickness by OCT [18][19][20] and GDx 21,22 following reduction in IOP, albeit with conflicting conclusions. The variable results of these studies may be due to other factors such as stage of the disease and age.…”

“…Some studies have shown reversal of optic disc cupping that was proportional to the magnitude of IOP reduction [11][12][13][14] and age. 15 However, there are other studies that have shown this reversal was a transient phenomenon, which reverted to baseline values with time. 16 Others have shown no significant change in optic disc topography.…”

“…These findings are comparable with other studies in which the changes in RNFL height were shown by linear regression model to be pressure dependent. 6,10 In particular, segmental analysis showed a significant change in rim volume in the nasal, inferonasal, superonasal, and superotemporal sectors. 7 These authors have suggested that the improvement is limited to the nasal hemidisc and the adjacent RNFL because this area tends to be least affected by the disease, so nerve fiber bundle compression is not as long-standing as that within the temporal hemidisc.…”
