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
