Summary

The topic of the article is to inform about the analysis of the nerve fiber layer in color digital images of the retina. The study group consists of 11 eyes (9 patients) with marked focal losses in the nerve fiber layer of the retina. The control group consists of 14 eyes (7 patients). The basic statistical parameters, which may distinguish the loss in the nerve fiber layer from the healthy nerve fiber layer, are suggested and evaluated. The study is focused particularly to detect the focal losses.

Key words:
nerve fiber layer, glaucoma, computer densitometry, statistical analysis
