Patterns of Progressive Ganglion Cell-Inner Plexiform Layer Thinning in Glaucoma Detected by OCT

The use of OCT GPA maps offers an effective approach to evaluate the topographic patterns of progressive GCIPL thinning in glaucomatous eyes. Progression of GCIPL thinning occurred before apparent progression on standard automated perimetry in most glaucomatous eyes. Understanding specific patterns and sequences of macular damage may provide important insights in the monitoring of glaucomatous progression.
