Optic Disc Hemorrhage and Lamina Cribrosa Defects in Glaucoma Progression

Abstract Both disc hemorrhages (DH) and focal lamina cribrosa (LC) defects are recently considered as a progression factor in glaucoma. However, the clinical relevance of the presence of LC findings at the site of the DH has not yet been determined. We conducted a prospective study enrolling a total...
