Glaucoma is characterized by progressive degeneration of
retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and their axons. Recent
neuroimaging studies in human glaucoma have demonstrated
degenerative changes in the visual pathway of brain
including lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). However, a
precise assessment of the LGN is still a technical
challenge due to anatomic characteristics. Therefore,
our aim was to investigate the LGN atrophy in patients
with open-angle glaucoma using high-resolution 7.0 Tesla
MR imaging and correlation with retinal nerve fiber
layer (RNFL) thickness
