ABSTRACT
The lamina cribrosa (LC) is a complicated collagenous meshwork of trabeculae and laminar pores contain capillaries, nerves and neurogliocytes, which provides structural and nutrient support to the retinal ganglion cell axons as they exit the eye. The intraocular pressure causes direct damage or deformation and remodeling of LC, leads to axoplaxmic transport and blood supply disturbance. The preponderance of evidence suggests that LC is the principal site of glaucomatous damage. The development of optic coherence tomography (OCT) technology has improved the imaging quality of deep structures of the optic nerve head and makes it possible to detect LC. The quantitative research indexes of LC structure include LC depth, laminar curvature, laminar thickness, prelaminar tissue, laminar pore, laminar defect and hemodynamics. To improve the understanding of LC structure, explore the characteristics of LC and understand the biomechanical and hemodynamic pathogenesis of glaucoma, which would be contribute to the application of big data research in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma.
