Nerve Fiber Layer Defect, Chronic Glaucoma (#2), Visual Field and OCT
The visual field of the same case shows a prominent nasal superior step. The best demonstration of nerve-fiber loss is with OCT. The dip (instead of the normal hump) in the surface of the retina around the optic nerve is greatest inferiorly as the black line in the lower left picture demonstrates. It also shows that the loss is greater than visualized with the red-free photograph.
