Now, do any of these calculations also involve clinical findings, like factoring in so-called biomarkers, like OCT findings?

Yeah, so I guess there have been associations with, you know, increased RNFL thinning as well as visual field progression with higher polygenic risk.

And then in terms of need for surgery as well, there is greater need for incisional surgery in patients who have higher polygenic risk.

And so the association with specific clinical features has been examined as well.

But you're right.

The GCC, I think, is very important because sometimes the RNFL, like you look at an elevated nerve, the RNFL can be misleading just because you're not going to properly be able to analyze that or the instrument's not going to be able to properly analyze that.

But when you look at your GCC and you're like, okay, the ganglion cell are healthy, then it gives you more confidence that, okay, I have time on my side or this patient's not doing as poorly as I thought they might be.

Yeah, that's very well put.
