Previous studies have documented the ability of OCT to image the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) of patients with glaucoma or other optic neuropathies including indirect optic nerve trauma.2–4 Although OCT has for the most part been used to evaluate RNFL thickness, recent software improvements have made it possible to measure macular thickness as well. The purpose of this paper is to report a case of … ER -
