Structural measures are shown for “OCT RNFL” (thickness of the RNFL in macular OCT) and “OCT GCL + IPL” (thickness of GCL + IPL layer in macular OCT). Functional measures include the pattern ERG P50 amplitude, N95 : P50 amplitude ratio, and amplitude density (AD) of the mfERG in ring 1 (fovea) and rings 2 and 3.
