1. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE
   To correlate peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (NFL) loss and visual field defects in nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).
   
   PATIENTS AND METHODS
   Patients with NAION and control subjects were enrolled in a case–control study. Participants were scanned with a Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) system. Peripapillary NFL thickness was averaged in hemispheric, quadrant, and octant divisions. Standard achromatic static perimetry was used to assess visual fields.
   
   RESULTS
   The reproducibility of peripapillary NFL parameters was excellent in both the healthy and NAION groups. Eyes in the NAION group ... (Read Full Article)
