RNFL (Fig. 7), except for the temporal quadrants, where the thickness was low. Regarding the GCL-IPL complex (Fig. 8), an emphasis of the thickness decrease compared to the moment of presentation was noticed.

As it was observed, there was an improvement at the perimetric evaluation (Fig. 13), the discreet reduction of the scotoma in periphery, but unnoticed by the patient.
