| Research Abstract |
We have demonstrated that the inner layer thickness of macular area retina, which had been enabled to be measured for the first time by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, is a promising structural parameter for detecting early glaucoma, even in preperimetric condition. In addition, this structural parameter has been suggested to be useful for predicting prognosis of visual field progression in glaucoma.
