文摘Current imaging instruments assess structural losses due to glaucoma in the papillary and peripapillary regions. However, evaluations in these regions vary significantly among normal subjects. Assessment of ganglion cell loss in the macula is potentially preferable because the macula contains the retinal ganglion cells responsible for central vision, and its anatomy varies relatively little in the normal population.
