Progressive thinning of nerve fibers and retinal ganglion cells in traumatic optic neuropathy: 2 clinical cases

The aim of this work was an optical coherence tomography study to assess the state of the optic nerve in contusion of the eye. In 12 patients with eye contusion, an OCT study of the retina and optic nerve of the injured and fellow eye was performed. The layer of nerve fibers and ganglion cells of the retina was measured. Thus, broad-spectrum SS-OCT allowed us to obtain a wide-spectrum image of the macula and peripapillary areas, which is useful for monitoring various sequential developmental conditions in patients with TON as well as those with TON.
