Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer (RNFL) Thickness and Its Correlation with High Myopia: A Preliminary Normogram
Abstract: To evaluate the association of high myopia with Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer (RNFL) thickness especially in the peripheral retina after ruling out other causes of RNFL thinning. An observational cross-section study was conducted. Excluding concomitant ophthalmic diseases we have selected Fifty highly myopic eyes and forty emmetropic eyes for RNFL thickness measurment using the Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FD OCT). Average thickness of RNFL in myopic eye was 87.89 …
