Profile of the Retina by Optical Coherence Tomography in the Pediatric Age Group

Purpoe To etablih normative value of the retina in the pediatric population uing optical coherence tomography (OCT). Deign Propective obervational cae control tudy. Method Propective tudy examining macular thickne and nerve fiber layer thickne in children with no ocular dieae. After clinical examination, patient meeting the incluion and excluion criteria underwent OCT canning. Reult Thirty-two eye were examined for macular thickne and 25 eye for nerve fiber layer thickne. Normative value are found in the Table. The average foveal thickne for children i 221 micron v 182 micron in adult. Concluion Thi tudy demontrate normative value of retinal thickne and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickne in the pediatric age group. Children have lightly thicker macula than adult; the RNFL thickne i comparable to adult.
