Establishment of Normative Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Healthy Koreans Using Huvitz Optical Coherence Tomography and Comparison with Cirrus OCT.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of glaucoma by establishing normative data on retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, specifically for healthy Koreans, using Huvitz spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). This study also aimed to compare the obtained RNFL thickness data with normative values provided by the Cirrus OCT system to identify any device-specific differences that could impact glaucoma diagnosis. Methods: This prospective observational study included 148 healthy participants aged 20-69 years at Gangnam Severance Hospital. Participants underwent comprehensive ophthalmologic evaluations, including RNFL thickness measurements using Huvitz OCT, which were compared with existing normative Cirrus OCT data. RNFL
