Systemic and Ocular Determinants of Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Measurements in the European Eye Epidemiology (E3) Population.

In addition to previously described determinants such as age and refraction, we found that systemic vascular and neurovascular diseases were associated with reduced pRNFLT.

Sex-Specific Differences in Circumpapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness.

Substantial sex effects on cRNFL thickness were found at 56.8% of all 768 circumpapillary locations, with specific patterns for different sectors.

Association of Systemic Medication Use with Glaucoma and Intraocular Pressure: The European Eye Epidemiology Consortium.

We identified a potentially harmful association between use of CCBs and glaucoma prevalence.

Norms of Interocular Circumpapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Differences at 768 Retinal Locations.

We provide pointwise normative distributions of interocular cpRNFLT differences at an unprecedentedly high spatial resolution of 768 A-scans and reveal considerable location specific asymmetries as well as their associations with age and scanning radius differences…

Normative Percentiles of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness and Glaucomatous Visual Field Loss.

Our results challenge the assumption that normative percentiles from OCT machines improve prediction of glaucomatous visual field loss.
