The device does not measure the total number of mitochondria within a specific retinal layer; to address this limitation and the potential impact of a reduced number of mitochondria or dysfunctional mitochondria in OAG, we calculated a ratio of FPF intensity by dividing FPF scores by the global RNFL thickness, which serves as a surrogate for the total number of mitochondria in the RNFL layer, but we found no significant differences between FPF metrics among the groups, though ONH FPF mean score/RNFL thickness was found to be borderline significant.

The sentences
While normal and glaucoma suspects had significantly thicker RNFL and GCIPL thickness compared to glaucoma in our multiple comparison analysis, the P values were highly significant for RNFL thickness but only borderline significant for GCIPL after Bonferroni adjustment.
