Notes:
This patient’s right eye was excluded secondary to ophthalmic artery occlusion that led to diffuse RNFL and GCC thinning. The GCC measurements listed are for his left eye only; the affected visual field category is the average of the affected hemifield in the right and left eyes; there are two separate RNFL calculations, ie, nasal affected versus nasal unaffected: mean 74.1±19.49 μm versus 74.1±18.96 μm; P=0.99; and combined T/S/I affected versus unaffected: 90.63±18.01 μm versus 88.6±18.81 μm; the GCC reported in the affected column is the average of the affected hemiretina in the right and left eyes.
Abbreviations: CVA, cerebrovascular accident; GCC, ganglion cell complex; HVF, Humphrey visual field; A, affected; U, unaffected; MD, mean deviation; T/S/I, combined temporal, superior, inferior; SD, standard deviation; RNFL, retinal nerve fiber layer.
