High myopia linked with low levels of thinning in retinal nerve fiber layer
A cohort of patients with high myopia experienced significantly low levels of thinning in the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer in the temporal quadrant and macular retinal nerve fiber layer, according to a pilot study.
Faster retinal ganglion cell thinning associated with higher risk for perimetric glaucoma
Monitoring rates of ganglion cell/inner plexiform layer and circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thinning may help determine glaucoma progression in eyes with suspected glaucoma, according to data published in JAMA Ophthalmology.
Obstructive sleep apnea may affect RNFL thickness, IOP
Obstructive sleep apnea may have an impact on retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and IOP, highlighting the importance of screening affected individuals for glaucoma, according to data published in the Journal of Glaucoma.
RNFL, ganglion cell layer thickness related to cognitive performance
Retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell layer thickness at age 45 years was linked with cognitive performance in childhood and adulthood, with thinner retinal nerve fiber layer tied to a decline in processing speed, according to data.
