DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMANCE OF GCIPL AND CIRCUMPAPILLARY RETINAL NERVE FIBER LAYER PARAMETERS IN EARLY GLAUCOMA WITH CONSIDERATION OF VISUAL FIELD DEFECT TOPOGRAPHY

Abstract

Glaucoma remains one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide, and early diagnosis plays a crucial role in preventing the progression of visual impairment. Modern imaging techniques, particularly optical coherence tomography (OCT), allow detection of structural retinal changes even before the development of significant functional defects [1,2]..
