Retinal thickness in healthy Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children

Abstract: Background Understanding normative retinal thickness characteristics is critical for diagnosis and monitoring of pathology, particularly in those predisposed to retinal disease. The macular retinal layer thickness of Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children was examined using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Methods High-resolution macular optical coherence tomography imaging was performed on 100 Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children and 150 non-Indigenous visuall… Show more

“…Results from the analyses of refractive error, stereoacuity, color vision, ocular alignment, accommodation and vergence function, ocular biometry, and macular OCT measures in this population have been reported previously. [18][19][20][21] The Heidelberg Spectralis SD-OCT uses a superluminescent diode with a central wavelength of 870 nm, capturing 40,000 A-scans per second, to generate images with a digital axial resolution of 3.9 µm and transverse resolution of ~5.8 µm. With the left eye occluded, 2 highresolution (1024 A-scans) ONH scans were performed, each consisting of a horizontal and a vertical 20-degree long scan, centered on the middle of the ONH to determine the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the ONH and neuroretinal rim and to measure the thickness of the peripapillary RNFL.…”
