[My experience with GDx VCC].
GDx VCC can quantify the retinal nerve fiber layer using a scanning laser polarimetry technique. Like other imaging techniques in glaucoma, the results should be carefully evaluated and correlated to the clinical evaluation and the visual field. With a quantitative approach of the structural changes observed in glaucomatous optic neuropathy, the GDx has become a powerful tool in the management of patients with ocular hypertension (OHT) as well as early and advanced glaucoma. The technical principles of this device and its limitations should be well known so that it is used effectively in the management of patients with OHT and glaucoma.
