Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy primarily damaging the ganglion cell complex. The FD-OCT offers comprehensive glaucoma evaluation by providing assessment of RNFL thickness, optic disc morphology, and ganglion cell complex. In this study Peripapillary RNFL thickness and macular GCC thickness had similar diagnostic values for early to moderate glaucoma detection. The results are consistent with other studies. In conclusion, macular GCC thickness is comparable to RNFL thickness for detection of early and moderate glaucoma
