Comparison of macular thickness in myopia, hypermetropia and emmetropia: An OCT based study
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim To make a comparative evaluation of macular thickness in myopia and hypermetropia versus emmetropiaMaterials and Methods A crosssectional OCT based study was done in randomly selected 100 emmetropes 93 myopes 67 hypermetropes aged between 18 to 30 years regardless of sexResults Average outer macular thickness in emmetropia myopia and hypermetropia is 27663125 27543121 28656114 respectively Average inner macular thickness was 31645115 30883113 31070121 respectively and average central subfield thickness was 24380112 24851229 24005219 respectivelyConclusion Overall macular thickness in various quadrants was uniform in emmetropia As compared to emmetropia in myopia average outer and inner subfield macular thickness is lower while average central thickness is higher In hypermetropia average inner macular and central subfield thickness is lower while outer macular thickness is higher p0001Keywords Macular thickness Myopia Hypermetropia Emmetropia
