Table A1: Distribution of custom retinal nerve fiber layer and total retinal thickness values for all eyes.

Conventional retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, custom retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and custom total retinal thickness values for control, papilledema, and pseudopapilledema eyes. Papilledema and pseudopapilledema eyes are described as “better” or “worse” depending on which eye had a thicker conventional retinal nerve fiber layer (worse = thicker). In the present study, “better” papilledema eyes were compared to “worse” pseudopapilledema eyes in order to make the two groups more difficult to differentiate. Values for both eyes are included here to provide a more complete clinical picture.
