Abstract:
To determine normal values, repeatability, and interocular symmetry of optic nerve head measurements, three spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scans were obtained from 128 healthy Turkish children aged 5-17 years consecutively and prospectively. The mean disc area, rim area, cup volume, cup to disc area ratio, and vertical and horizontal cup to disc ratios were 2.30 ± 0.42 mm2, 1.84 ± 0.45 mm2, 0.09 ± 0.10 mm3, 0.20 ± 0.13, 0.37 ± 0.17, and 0.45 ± 0.20, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficients were >0.9 for repeatability and >0.75 for interocular correlation. Interocular differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Normal paediatric SD-OCT measurements of the optic nerve head are presented, which showed excellent repeatability and no interocular difference.
