Abstract
Glaucoma is a widespread, blindness-causing disease that is characterized in part by specific and sometimes subtle changes in optic disc and retinal nerve fiber layer topography. Several recently developed computer-based optical imaging techniques allow objective evaluation of the optic disc and retinal nerve fiber layer. These techniques use different optical properties and different properties of the retina to provide micron scale measurements of many aspects of optic disc and retinal nerve fiber layer structure. This article describes and evaluates 3 of these techniques: confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, scanning laser polarimetry, and optical coherence tomography
