Comments and Conclusions Black lines, or slits, that separate white nerve fiber layer bundles may seem like a loss of nerve fibers. If a slit is narrower than the width of a major blood vessel, and if it does not widen towards the periphery or taper towards the disc, the slit is likely physiological and
Case 6: Optomap® plus with Resmax™ Viewing both eyes simultaneously is often helpful to detect differences.
Case 6: Optomap® Fundus Image OD Yet another "normal" with an apparent RNFL defect superior temporally. All clinical findings are within normal limits.
Case 5: Optomap® and RNFL Thickness Analysis OD Of particular interest, the SD OCT measurement in the zone including the RNFL defect and the area below it are borderline in thickness. This superior temporal zone has an average thickness of 89 µm but the corresponding inferior temporal zone has an average thickness of 147
Case 5: Optomap® Green Separation Image OD The defect widens towards the periphery and becomes obscured at and near the disc.
Case 5: Optomap® Fundus Image OD However, an apparent RNFL defect that does not extend to the disc is observed with wide-field imaging.
