The surface area of enface slab-images showing RNFL reflectance were strongly related to the cRNFLT measures, and the classification of a subject with glaucoma based on enface reflectance findings and cRNFLT findings had a generally good agreement. The larger retinal area assessed by the enface method preserves the spatial location of the RNFL abnormalities, and makes the technique a useful approach for identifying regions of potential RNFL abnormality for targeted perimetry.
