Primary open-angle glaucoma is a progressive multifactorial optic neuropathy characterized by an acquired loss of ganglion cells and their axons in the retina.1,2 Damage to the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) is usually followed by changes in the optic nerve head shape and specific visual field defects. The recognition of defects in the RNFL is key for early glaucoma diagnosis.3,4 In glaucoma patients, the RNFL can be evaluated by red-free fundus photographs, scanning laser polarimetry (SLP), and optical coherence tomography (OCT)…
