Previous reports have shown that retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) observation is useful for detection of early glaucoma changes in patients with optic disc haemorrhage. Since disc haemorrhages are not a factor in all glaucoma patients this study was carried out in order to estimate the value of RNFL observation in patients whose first glaucoma damage developed without a haemorrhage. Evaluation of the retrospective data showed that RNFL defects were the first and only detectable glaucoma changes in 46% of haemorrhagic eyes and 26% of non-haemorrhagic eyes. RNFL observation is useful in the follow-up of ocular hypertensive patients for detection of very early glaucoma changes, regardless of whether the changes develop with or without an optic disc haemorrhage.
