Influence of signal‐to‐noise ratio, glaucoma stage and segmentation algorithm on OCT usability for quantifying layer thicknesses in the peripapillary retina

Abstract

Glaucoma is a chronic and progressive eye disease that leads to thinning of the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNLF) and the ganglion cell layer (GCL). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) allowed for a detailed assessment of these layers.
