“…23 A postmortem study of human glaucoma with bilateral visual-field loss, by using histomorphometry and ex vivo MR imaging, demonstrated reduced LGN and neuron size. 5 Gupta et al, 24 after obtaining LGN height measurements in vivo by 1.5T MR imaging, reported LGN atrophy in patients with glaucoma with symmetric bilateral visual-field defects. In contrast, in the present study, more pronounced atrophy was found on the left side, and this is probably related to the more pronounced atrophy of the right nasal and left temporal retinal fibers found with OCT and may be due to the small sample, because POAG is often a bilateral condition.…”
