Relationship between the rate of change in lamina cribrosa depth and the rate of retinal nerve fiber layer thinning following glaucoma surgery.

This is the first study that considers direct correlation between the rate of change in LCD with the rate of RNFL thinning over time. A thinner RNFL thickness following glaucoma surgery was associated with the rate of LCD reduction, not with position of the lamina cribrosa at the FUpv.
