Macular choroidal thickness and correlations in a healthy pediatric South Asian cohort: A spectral domain optical
1Department of Ophthalmology, Foundation University School of Health Sciences/Foundation University Islamabad/Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Pakistan.
Purpose:
The objective of this study is to assess the normative macular choroidal thickness (ChT) in healthy children with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and study its correlations with age, intraocular pressure, axial length, corneal thickness, cup-to-disc ratio, and spherical equivalent.
Methods:
This study recruited 89 healthy children. Macular ChT was measured in five locations, subfoveal, 1500 μm and 3000 μm nasal, and temporal to the fovea via the Optopol REVO80® SD-OCT.
Results:
The mean age was 11.17 years. The mean subfoveal ChT was 332.33 ± 73.07 μm, ChT 1500 μm nasal to the fovea; 281.19 ± 66.67 μm, ChT 1500 μm temporal to the fovea; 293.25 ± 71.11 μm, ChT 3000 μm nasal to the fovea; 219.55 ± 67.4 μm, ChT 3000 μm temporal to the fovea; 264.31 ± 70.8 μm. A correlation of subfoveal ChT was not observed with the variables.
Conclusions:
This study illustrates the normative pediatric macular ChT profile.
