| Research Abstract |
The glaucomatous lamina cribrosa can be observed and measured using Spectral domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT). This technique is useful despite some methodological issues and limitations. It may be possible to detect alterations in the lamina cribrosa during the onset and progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Furthermore, Swept source (SS)-OCT can detect the remained macular retinal nerve fiber bundles and their area by a combination with image enhancement software. In more advanced glaucomatous cases, SS-OCT may be more useful to detect or speculate the remained area of central visual field than SD-OCT.
