Arnould L, De Lazzer A, Seydou A, et al. - Researchers conducted this population‐based study to assess the capacity of retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness measured by SD‐OCT to discriminate glaucoma patients from controls in an elderly population, aged 75 years and over. All candidates [n = 1,061; 89 were classified as having glaucoma and 972 were classified as normal; mean (SD) age was 82.3 (3.7) years] had a complete eye examination with optic nerve photographs, visual field testing and OCT peripapillary RNFL thickness measurement. The average RNFL thickness had the best sensitivity followed by the temporal‐inferior sector when RNFL thickness was classified as abnormal by SD‐OCT. Findings suggested that SD‐OCT might be useful as an additional test for discriminating patients with glaucoma from controls in an elderly population.
