The Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) is a layer of the retina in the eye. It is crucial for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain, and its thickness is often measured using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to assess and diagnose conditions such as glaucoma. This measurement is particularly important for ophthalmologists and optometrists in monitoring and managing eye health, especially in patients at risk for or diagnosed with glaucoma.
