Abstract

To evaluate the impact of manual correction of automated OCT segmentation errors on retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, Bruch’s membrane opening-minimum rim width (MRW) measurements, as well as its effect on glaucoma classification.

Keywords: Glaucoma; OCT Segmentation; Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL); Minimum Rim Width (MRW)
