Exploring optical coherence tomography parameters in eyes with myopic tilted disc.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the impact of optic disc torsion (ODT), horizontal disc tilt (HDT) angle, and ovality index (OI) on different retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) segments in healthy myopic eyes.

Methods

ODT and OI were measured from fundus photographs. HDT angle, peripapillary RNFL, and macular GCIPL were measured by swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). The association between optic disc morphology and the RNFL/GCIPL thickness were evaluated, with age and axial length (AL) adjusted.

Results

Among 530 healthy myopic eyes of 284 participants (mean age: 41.7 years, mean spherical equivalent: - 7.70 D, and mean AL: 26.6 mm), 335 eyes (63.2%) had temporal disc torsion (temporal group) and 195 eyes (36.8%
