"The residual peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (PRNFLT) corresponding to no light perception vision from long-standing nonglaucomatous optic neuropathies has not been documented. Such a benchmark would be useful information because PRNFLT is being used as an indicator of the visual recovery potential in patients with optic neuropathies," investigators in the United States report.
"By means of optical coherence tomography (OCT) using a fast RNFL...
