An Analysis of Normal Variations in Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Profiles Measured With Optical Coherence Tomography.
Purpose: To assess the normal variations in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measured with optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Subjects and Methods: Both eyes of 48 individuals (age 56.4+/-9.5 y) with normal vision and refractive errors between +/-6.0 D were tested with the fast RNFL scan protocol of the OCT3 (Zeiss Meditech). Their 256-point RNFL profiles were exported for analysis. The location and peak amplitude of the maxima of the RNFL profiles were measured. Intersubject and interocular variations were assessed with a coefficient of determination, R2. An R2 of 1.0 indicated that the average profile ...
