Macular thickness evaluation using the optical coherence tomography in normal Indian eyes Tewari HK; Wagh VB; Sony P; Venkatesh P; Singh RIndian J Ophthalmol 2004[Sep]; 52 (3): 199-204PURPOSE: To determine the normative values for macular thickness and volume by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT 3) in healthy Indian subjects. METHODS: The macula of 170 consecutive, randomly selected normal subjects was imaged on OCT 3 in this cross-sectional study. OCT parameters of macular thickness were analysed with baseline variables including age, gender, axial length and refractive error. RESULTS: The average foveal thickness in the population under study was 149.16 +/- 21.15 micro. Macular thickness and volume parameters of OCT correlated significantly (Pearson's Correlation coefficient) with age (r=0.23, P<0.01), but not with gender, axial length and refraction. CONCLUSIONS: The macular thickness and volume parameters have a significant correlation with age. This normative database of macular thickness by OCT in Indian eyes may be a useful guideline for management and further research in diseases of the macula and glaucoma.|*Tomography, Optical Coherence[MESH]|Adolescent[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Child[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|India[MESH]|Macula Lutea/*anatomy & histology[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Reference Values[MESH] |
