Comparison of Optical Coherence Tomography and Scanning Laser Polarimetry for Detection of Localized Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Defects

Abstract

In recognizing a localized RNFL defect, overall diagnostic performance of Stratus OCT and GDx VCC with regard to their internal normative database was not significantly different. As both Stratus OCT and GDx VCC showed only moderate sensitivity, these imaging devices may not substitute red-free fundus photography in clinical practice of glaucoma diagnosis.
