To compare the rates of circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and macular retinal ganglion cell–inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) change over time in healthy and glaucoma eyes. Cohort study. The rates of circumpapillary RNFL and macular GCIPL loss in 28 healthy subjects and 97 glaucoma subjec...
