Imaging in glaucoma

Ophthalmol Clin North Am. 2004 Mar;17(1):33-52. doi: 10.1016/S0896-1549(03)00102-0.

Abstract

Structural assessment using the imaging technologies discussed herein provides reproducible quantitative measurements of posterior segment ocular structures. These measurements have been found to provide useful data for glaucoma detection in various regions of the posterior segment. Further studies are needed to evaluate the utility of these technologies for pre-perimetric glaucoma detection and for monitoring glaucoma progression over an extended period.
