Normative Database of the Superior-Inferior Thickness Asymmetry for All Inner and Outer Macular Layers of Adults for the Posterior Pole Algorithm of the Spectralis SD-OCT.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aims to establish a reference for the superior-inferior hemisphere asymmetry in thickness values for all macular layers for the posterior pole algorithm (PPA) available for the Spectralis SD-OCT device.

Methods

We examined 300 eyes of 300 healthy Caucasian volunteers aged 18-84 years using the PPA, composed of a grid of 64 (8 × 8) cells, to analyze the thickness asymmetries of the following automatically segmented macular layers: retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL); ganglion cell layer (GCL); inner plexiform layer (IPL); inner nuclear layer (INL); outer plexiform layer (OPL); outer nuclear layer (ONL); retinal pigment epithelium (RPE); inner retina; outer retina; complete retina. Mean ± standard deviation and the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the thickne
