Strategies to improve early diagnosis in glaucoma

摘要: Early diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma is important to reduce the risk progressive irreversible visual loss. The key recognition morphological changes optic nerve head retinal fiber layer, but in some patients, functional abnormalities are detected first. This review describes recent innovations with potential improve early detection glaucoma. Developments imaging include novel metrics such as Bruch's membrane opening-minimum rim width, enhanced ability quantify inner layers glaucomatous macula, image deep structures, including lamina cribrosa. loss perimetric tests using frequency-doubling technology flicker-defined form stimuli. Methods combine results structural assessments also presented that may
