3D evaluation of the lamina cribrosa with swept-source optical coherence tomography in normal tension glaucoma.

PURPOSE:Although the lamina cribrosa (LC) is the primary site of axonal damage in glaucoma, adequate methods to image and measure it are currently lacking. Here, we describe a noninvasive, in vivo method of evaluating the LC, based on swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), and determine...
