Glaucoma causes death of RGCs and their axons . Thus, its structural effects can be measured both by loss of thickness of the RGCs and RNFL and by topographical changes of the ONH . Glaucomatous functional deficits similarly result from RGCs loss with defects in visual sensitivity found in the receptive fields of the damaged neurins
