The Evolving Role of the Relationship between Optic Nerve Structure and Function in Glaucoma

The relationship between functional vision loss and structural changes of the optic nerve head and retinal ganglion cells is the hallmark of glaucoma diagnosis. Understanding and measuring this relationship has been the focus of numerous studies, the goal of which have been to improve glaucoma diagnosis and detection of glaucoma worsening. In this review, a historical perspective is used to understand structure –function relationships in glaucoma and their application to improve glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring.
