Reproducibility of Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Measurements in Patients With Glaucoma and Healthy Controls Using Spectral-Domain and Time-Domain OCT

January 7, 2011 updated by: University of Zurich

To assess the reproducibility of Spectral-Domain-OCT (SD-OCT) retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) thickness measurements in healthy volunteers and patients with glaucoma and to compare these results to conventional Time-Domain-OCT (TD-OCT).
