Correlation of Automated Visual Field Parameters and Peripapillary Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness as Measured by Scanning Laser Polarimetry

Abstract

The bilinear correlation and its variability between the scanning laser polarimetry and visual field parameters make it difficult to predict the result of one from the other. In general, the correlation between the two is better when there is a significant visual field defect than when the visual field is close to normal.
