Abstract
RETINAL NERVE fiber layer (RNFL) damage may precede the development of glaucomatous optic neuropathy or visual field loss.1-4 Retinal nerve fiber layer photography may identify RNFL injury years before visual field damage becomes apparent,5-7 suggesting that patients with progressive glaucomatous neuropathy might be detected by newer methods of RNFL assessment, before they develop reproducible damage detectable by perimetry.Keywords
