Effects of Inadequate Anterior Segment Compensation on Measurements With Scanning Laser Polarimetry

Abstract
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina | The effects of poor anterior segment compensation on scanning laser polarimetry measurements of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) were systematically explored. A prototype scanning laser polarimeter with an adjustable compensator to neutralize anterior segment birefringence was used. By systematically varying the magnitude and axis of anterior segment compensation in a healthy and a
