Analysis of Macular Thickness in British Population Using Optical Coherence Tomography (oct): An Emphasis on Interocular Symmetry
Purpose: To evaluate macular thickness measurements in normal subjects from British origin, to assess interocular asymmetry using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and to establish standard values for macular and foveal thickness. Methods: Two hundred eyes of 100 normal individuals underwent serial scans using fast macular thickness map protocol in the Stratus OCT version 3.51, with foveal fixation. Minimum foveal thickness (MFT), central 1 mm average foveal thickness (AFT), total foveal volume (TFV) and total macular volume (TMV at 6 mm) of both eyes were assessed. The interocular asymmetry was measured and statistically analyzed. Results: The mean ± SD (N = 200 ...
