SPECTRALIS – OU Asymmetry AnalysisHow to interpret the OU Asymmetry Analysis
Glaucoma is a disease that is manifested by loss of ganglion cells and axons across the central posterior pole. Glaucomatous damage is often marked by retinal thinning in the zone surrounding the fovea and extending toward the optic nerve head. The SPECTRALIS® Posterior Pole Asymmetry Analysis maps retinal thickness across the posterior pole and graphs asymmetry both between hemispheres and between eyes. Some layers may change to offset damage to other layers; therefore, focusing only on a specific layer may be deceiving. RNFL measurements combined with retinal thickness measurements contribute to a robust picture of glaucoma.
