Abstract
Aim: To investigate the potential advantage of an enhanced corneal compensation algorithm (ECC) compared with variable corneal compensation (VCC) in the analysis of scanning laser polarimetric (SLP) images with atypical retardation pattern (ARP). Methods: SLP-VCC images with ARP (typical scan score (TSS) Results: ARP was present in 10.4% of the normals and 15.5% of the glaucoma patients imaged with SLP-VCC over 9 months. In both groups TSS was higher for ECC than for VCC (pConclusions: The new ECC software substantially improves polarimetric image analysis on eyes showing atypical polarisation pattern.Keywords
