Comparison of rate of change between Bruch’s membrane opening-minimum rim width and RNFL in eyes showing optic disc hemorrhage
American Journal of Ophthalmology Apr 15, 2020
Cho HK, et al. - In this observational case series, researchers examined and contrasted the longitudinal rate of change of Bruch’s membrane opening-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in eyes showing optic-disc hemorrhage (DH). In total, 82 patients (82 eyes) showing DH who had undergone more than five reliable spectral-domain optical coherence tomography tests were involved. According to results, BMO-MRW demonstrates a significantly higher rate of change than RNFL in eyes showing DH, particularly in the inferotemporal and superotemporal sectors in percent decrease. It may therefore be more advantageous to detect glaucoma progression earlier in BMO-MRW than in RNFL in eyes showing DH that are more likely to progress.
