Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Normal Children Measured with Optical Coherence Tomography

OCT Based Analysis of RNFL Thickness in Normal Indian Paediatric Population

“…The average RNFL thickness in our study was determined to be 110.81 µm (SD ± 13.74 µm) which is consistent with the findings reported in literature as by Neelam Pawar et al [2] , Salchow et al [3] and Rao et al [4] . While Bi Dan Zhu et al [5] examined 12 year old Chinese children and reported the mean RNFL thickness to be 103.08µm and Christiane Al-Haddad et al [6] reported Mean RNFL thickness to be 95.6+/−8.7 μm using Cirrus OCT.…”

“…This characteristic, called a "double-hump" configuration of peripapillary RNFL thickness, has been reported in previous studies [3,[7][8][9] of adults and children. This is known as the "inferior superior nasal temporal" pattern [10] , which reflects the nerve fibers converging to the ONH from the superior and inferior arcuate bundles.…”

Correlation Between Axial Length of Eyeball And Peripapillary Rnfl Thickness Measured By Oct in Myopes.

“…These studies may have been limited by the poorer resolution of earlier generation OCT and confocal laser devices, and thus lower sensitivity. Using the current generation Stratus OCT, Salchow et al [11]. found that RNFL thickness increased with increasing hyperopia (1.7 microns per diopter) in children (91% Hispanic, mean age 10 years, range [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

“…Conflicting data exist regarding theinfluence of myopia on peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness [7]. Some showno association [8][9][10][11] whereas Budenz et al [12] and Leung et al [13] found significant correlations. Thepurpose of this study is to assess whether longer axial length and increasing axial myopia arecorrelated with thinner RNFL measurements.…”

Anisometropia and Anisometropic Amblyopia (Literature Review)

“…доложили о не-скольких случаях, когда у детей с увеличенной толщиной сетчатки в макулярной области, выявленной при про-ведении ОСТ, при анизометропической амблиопии по-сле лечения получена нормальная острота зрения [29]. Существует предположение, что наличие парафовеаль-ной фиксации у пациента с амблиопией может стать причиной большей толщины сетчатки в амблиопичном глазу; некоторые авторы доказывают, что толщина ма-кулы, определяемая при ОСТ, находится в прямой зави-симости от степени аметропии [30,31]. Однако некото-рые авторы включали в исследуемую группу пациентов с аметропией, не превышающей 5 дптр, поэтому не все работы подтверждают это наблюдение [32].…”
