[Deficits of the layer of retinal nerve fibers and glaucoma. Comparison with campimetry and control of the course].
Photographic study of retinal nerve fiber layer try to show early defects in case of glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Among the recent techniques trying to indicate the first marks of glaucoma, this method appears easy, reproducible, objective, and uses a very common equipment. We describe the equipment and the technic used, and present the main physiological and pathological aspects. Our series includes 49 eyes (30 patients) and, for 30 among them (17 patients), a control of the evolution has been done within an average period of thirty months. In each case, visual field was studied, principally with the programs of early detection of glaucomatous damage available on the Octopus 2000 R (prog. No 31, 33 and G1). We explore and comment upon the results obtained by the confrontation between these exams.
