The effect of excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy for myopia on nerve fiber layer thickness measurements as determined by scanning laser polarimetry

Scanning laser polarimetry measures the retardation of polarized laser light as it passes through the birefringent retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL). Because retardation is directly proportional to the number of retinal nerve fibers, indirect measurements of the RNFL thickness are obtained. A fixed c...
