Retinal putative glial alterations: implication for glaucoma care

ConclusionsThere was an effect of ageing on the presence of the hyperreflective structures, presumed to be ARAM, on OCT images. Compared to the presence of hyperreflective structures, the extent of retinal region with the hyperreflective structures has a greater potential of being an indicator of glaucomatous degeneration. Further study is needed to investigate the nature of the relation between glaucomatous abnormality and the extent of the retina with the hyperreflective structures, presumed to be ARAM.
