Ocular Coherence Tomography Macula Retinal Nerve Fiber Layers / Ganglion cells – OCT

The retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) is formed by the expansion of the fibers of the optic nerve; it is thickest near the optic disc, gradually diminishing toward the ora serrata. Ganglion cells are the final output neurons of the vertebrate retina. Ganglion cells collect information about the visual world from bipolar cells and amacrine cells (retinal interneurons). Macular ganglion cell analysis with OCT provides a quick, noninvasive way to identify retinal ganglion cell loss. Ganglion cell loss respecting the vertical midline suggests retrograde degeneration from postchiasmal neurological disease.
