Analysis of normal retinal nerve fiber layer thickness by age, sex, and race using spectral domain optical coherence tomography
Purpose: To determine the effects of age, sex, and race on the retinal nerve fiber layer
(RNFL) in the normal human eye as measured by the spectral domain optical coherence
tomography (SD-OCT) Spectralis machine (Heidelberg Engineering). Methods: Peripapillary
SD-OCT RNFL thickness measurements were determined in normal subjects seen at a
university-based clinic. One randomly selected eye per subject was used for analysis in this
cross-sectional study. Multiple regression analysis was applied to assess the effects of age …
