Zangwill, Pamela A. Sample, Robert N. Weinreb Abstract: To compare the strength of the structure-function association between scanning laser polarimetry-measured retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and visual sensitivity. Two methods of corneal compensation were evaluated, variable corneal compensation (VCC) and enhanced corneal compensation (ECC).
