Physiological changes in retinal layers thicknesses measured with swept source optical coherence tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the physiological changes related with age of all retinal layers thickness measurements in macular and peripapillary areas in healthy eyes.

Methods

Wide protocol scan (with a field of view of 12x9 cm) from Triton SS-OCT instrument (Topcon Corporation, Japan) was performed 463 heathy eyes from 463 healthy controls. This protocol allows to measure the thickness of the following layers: Retina, Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), Ganglion cell layer (GCL +), GCL++ and choroid. In those layers, mean thickness was compared in four groups of ages: Group 1 (71 healthy subjects aged between 20 and 34 years); Group 2 (65 individuals aged 35-49 years), Group 3 (230 healthy controls aged 50-64 years) and Group 4 (97 healthy subjects aged 65-79 years).
