Cover Story: Delayed or late presentation of BRAO, after the acute phase findings have resolved, may result in a relatively normal-looking fundus. The resultant inner retinal changes and visual field defects can resemble primary open-angle glaucoma, particularly when patients are asymptomatic and there are no evident signs of BRAO. This study assessed and compared the tomographic thickness of retinal layers in patients with BRAO and glaucoma. Inner nuclear layer thinning and hemisphere asymmetry difference over 17 μm in total retinal layer thinning is suggestive of temporal BRAO. This information is particularly useful in the diagnosis of previously undiagnosed BRAO and may help prevent further retinal arterial occlusion and possible cerebrovascular incidents. View this paper
