Macular Thickness Variations with Gender, Age, and Axial Length in Healthy Subjects, a Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Study
Purpose: To assess the relationship between macular retinal thickness and volume and age, gender, and refractive error/ axial length using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
Methods: One randomly selected eye of 198 consecutive ophthalmically normal subjects (104 males, 94 females) between July 2008 and January 2009, with corrected visual acuities better than 20/30 were included in this cross-sectional study. Complete ophthalmic examination, axial length measurement with IOL Master (laser interferometer), and Macular Cube 512x128 scan by SD-OCT (Cirrus HD-OCT system, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, CA) were performed.
Results: The mean age was 55.6 ± 16.4 (range ...
