Multiple retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defects develop uncommonly, even though glaucomatous RNFL loss is typically observed as one RNFL defect in each quadrant. We investigated the risk factors associated with multiple RNFL defects to increase our understanding of the nature and pathogenesis of various RNFL defect patterns. Data from subjects with multiple RNFL defects (28 patients) and glaucoma patients without multiple RNFL defects (194 patients) were analyzed. The term "multiple RNFL defec ...[more]
