Elevated intraocular pressure and microvascular retinal injury identified by overhead mounted optical coherence tomography in two infants with glaucoma

Abstract

OCT imaging (tabletop and handheld/overhead-mounted methodology) aids in evaluating the optic nerve and retina in children. Glaucomatous optic nerve damage can be described on OCT as an isolated loss of ganglion cells in the macula. Using supine imaging with overhead-mounted OCT, we examined the macula in children with glaucoma, hoping to characterize the pattern of glaucomatous nerve damage.
