Normal Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer (RNFL) Thickness in Indian Population: Optical Coherence Tomogram
Abstract: We determine normal retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) in the normal North Indian population as measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT). It provides cross-sectional observational study. Twenty normal subjects from 10 to 45 yrs old (40 study eyes) have been selected as participants for this study. As a method, peripapillary fast RNFL scans performed by FD-OCT with a nominal diameter of 3.46 mm centered on the optic disc were performed …
