High-Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography for Detection of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Loss in Band Atrophy of the Optic Nerve

High-Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography for Detection of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Loss in Band Atrophy of the Optic Nerve

The purpose of this study is to compare the abilities of high-speed,high-resolution (HR) optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Stratus OCT for detection of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) loss in eyes with band atrophy (BA) of the optic nerve.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Visual acuity better than 20/30
• Refractive error less 5 spherical diopter and 3 cylinder diopter
• Temporal field defect

Exclusion Criteria:

• Presence of glaucoma and optic nerve anomalies
• A normal nasal field
