High-speed, high-resolution imaging of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become an essential tool for evaluation of glaucoma. The Cirrus HD-OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc. Dublin, CA) is a spectral-domain OCT that provides visualization of the distribution pattern and measurement of RNFL abnormalities in a 6x6mm2optic disc region. Analysis of the RNFL thickness deviation map—a color-coded map displaying areas of RNFL abnormalities—detects glaucoma with high sensitivity and specificity. Trend analysis of average and sectorial RNFL thicknesses, and event analysis of the RNFL thickness maps and the RNFL thickness profiles can be used to detect and follow diffuse and focal RNFL progression. RNFL measurement with spectral-domain OCT could provide important information for use in formulating treatment plans and evaluating disease prognosis in the management of glaucoma.
