  Fig. 1 Red-free photographs of the three patients. Magnified photographs in the rectangular area of each corner show the boundaries of seemingly improved retinal nerve fiber layer bundle defects, marked with white arrows. (A) Red-free photographs of a 47-year-old man with primary open angle glaucoma. The left photograph was taken in May 2012, and that on the right was taken in July 2013. (B) Red-free photographs of a 12-year-old girl with juvenile-open angle glaucoma. Left and right photographs were taken in June 2014 and August 2014, respectively. (C) Red-free photographs of a 38-year-old woman with primary open angle glaucoma. The left photograph was taken in March 2013, and that on the right was taken in March 2014.
