Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell complex (GCC), and corneal thickness parameters were assessed by the SD OCT (RTVue SD-OCT). These included the FLV, GLV, in addition to RNFL thickness, cup\/disc ratio, GCC thickness, and anterior segment OCT for assessment of central corneal thickness and central corneal epithelial thickness. Data from both groups were subjected to statistical analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The FLV and GLV had the highest areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve in Group A eyes. FLV had higher (97.2%) specificity and was the earliest parameter to be affected by glaucomatous damage, followed by GLV. Moreover, Group A eyes had significant thinning of the RNFL (91.59 \u03bcm) compared to Group B (118.18 \u03bcm), and GCC thickness was also significantly thinner in Group A (92.07 \u03bcm) than in Group B (110.54 \u03bcm). Interestingly, Group A eyes had thinner corneal epithelium (nonsignificant) than Group B.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>FLV and GLV were of the greatest value in the assessment of early glaucomatous GCC degeneration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/sjopt.sjopt_164_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,29]],"date-time":"2024-03-29T11:00:11Z","timestamp":1711710011000},"page":"89-94","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Comparison of focal loss volume, global loss volume, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and corneal epithelial thickness in eyes with glaucoma and suspicious optic discs"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Hani M.
