Abstract

Purpose : To evaluate the correlation between retinal nerve fiber bundle (RNFB) width along the temporal raphe and circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) thickness in glaucomatous eyes using OCT-reflectance (OCT-R) and OCT, respectively.

Methods : 7 controls and 11 primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients with either superior or inferior arcuate visual field defects were imaged using a SDOCT system (Avanti RTVue-XR; Optovue). Ten 3x3mm scans centered at 9° temporal to the fovea were obtained and averaged (Mo PMID:28068370). A OCT-R slab located between the ILM and 15µm below was used for RNFB width measurement (Fig A1 & B1). On the OCT-R, six 80-100 µm RNFB segments located above and below the temporal raphe were identified. RNFB width was then measured based on the first derivative of the straightened RNFB intensity profiles. Corresponding cpRNFL thickness in the superior and inferior quadrants was measured in each participant (Heidleberg Spectralis HRA + OCT) (Fig A2 & B2). Relationship between RNFB width and cpRNFL thickness were evaluated using linear regression.

Results : RNFBs along the temporal raphe were clearly visualized in all controls and POAG patients using OCT-reflectance (Fig A1 & B1). RNFB width along the temporal raphe was decreased in all POAG patients (control: 34.07±7.96µm vs POAG: 23.77±4.32µm). cpRNFL thickness thinning was found in the POAG patients (control: 125.8±15.85µm vs POAG: 69.61±19.98µm). Statistical significant correlation was found between the RNFB width and cpRNFL thickness (linear regression; r=0.56, P=0.0008).

Conclusions : Glaucomatous damage on temporal RNFB width measured using OCT-reflectance is associated with cpRNFL thickness thinning measured using the OCT. For glaucomatous RNFB damage detection, RNFB imaging along the temporal raphe using OCT-reflectance may provide additional information to the cpRNFL thickness.
