Macular Thickness Measurements in Healthy Subjects With Different Axial Lengths Using Optical Coherence Tomography

Abstract: When eyes with pathologic myopia were excluded, the axial length of the eye was found not to influence the average retinal thickness in the macular area.

“…In previous studies done by Wakitani et al, [12] and Xie et al, [13] have postulated that the increase in the axial length of myopia causes mechanical stretching of the sclera in the posterior pole. This causes traction of vitreous on the fovea in the myopic eyes.…”

“…[22][23][24] Lam et al 25 used TD OCT with higher axial scanning resolution and sampling density, and demonstrated that there were regional variations of retinal thickness within the macular region that correlated with axial length. The outer ring macular thickness was found to be reduced with longer axial length, while the inner ring macular thickness increased with axial length.…”

“…23 Magnification is not routinely corrected in retinal thickness measurements in commercially available OCT instruments, thus resulting in under or overestimations in the measurement of macular thickness. Furthermore, the current normative databases in commercially available OCT systems have not taken into account the axial length of high-myopia subjects.…”

“…farklı AU'lu sağlıklı olgular üzerine yaptıkları çalışmada, ortalama makula kalınlığı değerleri için gruplar arası karşılaştırmada fark bulamamışlar ve artan miyopi ile foveolar ve parafoveolar kalınlıkta herhangi bir değişiklik tespit etmemişlerdir. 19 Lim ve ark. miyopik olgularda makula kalınlı-ğını değerlendirmek için yapmış oldukları çalış-mada ilk jenerasyon OKT kullanarak vertikal ve horizontal lineer taramalar ile makula kalınlığını ölçmüşler ve ortalama makular kalınlığın miyopi derecesiyle değişmediğini belirtmişlerdir.…”
