The present invention relates to the detection of statistically significant changes in tissue characteristics within the eye. Change in a tissue characteristic is statistically significant when the magnitude of the change exceeds the test-retest measurement variability. One embodiment of the present invention analyzes the data using more than one statistic in order to capture global, regional, and/or local changes that are essential to clinical interpretation of changes in a tissue characteristic. In one embodiment of the present invention, the tissue characteristic tested is RNFL thickness.
