Widefield OCT accurately measures inner retinal thickness (RNFL, GCIPL) in primates, comparable to standard scans. This enhances monitoring retinal ganglion cell loss in glaucoma research.

One-year spaceflight caused progressive optic disc edema and choroidal changes in astronauts, suggesting ocular risks may worsen with longer missions, necessitating further monitoring for extended space travel.

This study found macula RGC density relates to OCT thickness and eccentricity. Smaller perimetry stimuli (size II or less) are better for detecting early glaucoma damage, as standard stimuli are too large.

Long-duration spaceflight causes disc edema-like changes in astronaut optic nerves, including ONH deepening and retinal/RNFL thickening, providing tools for monitoring and understanding terrestrial disc edema.

OCT ganglion cell analysis revealed non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) causes significantly greater vertical hemispheric ganglion cell loss than optic neuritis (ON), aiding their clinical differentiation.

Adaptive optics imaging consistently measures lamina cribrosa pore geometry in living eyes, showing low variability. This suggests its utility for tracking glaucoma-related changes in these critical optic nerve structures.
