Abstract
Macular NFL thickness was significantly reduced in glaucoma. It had a similar discriminating power for glaucoma detection but a stronger correlation with visual function than total macular thickness. Peripapillary NFL thickness, however, outperformed both total macular and macular NFL thickness in terms of glaucoma detection and visual function correlation. Peripapillary NFL thickness, as a total measurement of both macular and peripheral NFL, is still the best surrogate marker in glaucoma assessment.
