In glaucoma, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defects can be detected using the blue light reflectance in color fundus imaging as an alternative to Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Nerve Fiber + Ganglion Cell Deviation Map. The blue channel enhances contrast in the RNFL, making defects more visible by highlighting the structural loss. While OCT remains the gold standard, the blue channel provides a useful, costless, non-invasive option for initial assessment or when OCT is unavailable.

In glaucoma, peripapillary hemorrhages are indicative of optic nerve damage and progressive visual field loss. These hemorrhages are often subtle and may be best visualized using the green channel of color fundus photography, which enhances the contrast of blood vessels against the retinal background. Detecting these hemorrhages is critical for monitoring glaucoma progression and adjusting treatment strategies.
