The nerve fiber layer of the retina includes ganglion cells are believed to be the
earliest cells of the retina damaged by glaucoma. Scanning Laser Polarimetry technology
measures the extent of nerve fiber layer damage which can occur up to 6 years before
visual field damage is evident. This instrument represents a technological breakthrough
in that it may actually identify a patient before they develop visual field loss from
glaucoma.
