Reduction of SD-OCT parameters occurs following both ischaemic and haemorrhagic occipital stroke, but it is larger when the injury extends to parietal territories and increases as time since stroke increases. The size of visual field defect is unrelated to SD-OCT measurements. Macular GCC thinning appeared to be more sensitive than pRNFL in detecting retrograde retinal ganglion cell degeneration and its retinotopic pattern in stroke.
