COMPARISION OF RETINAL NERVE FIBRE LAYER THICKNESS BY CIRRUS HD-OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY IN EMMETROPIC, MYOPIC AND HYPEROPIC EYES

Purpose: The purpose of our study is to compare the average peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness by cirrus HD-Optical coherence tomography in emmetropic, axial myopic and hyperopic cases. Materials And Methods: Total 120 subjects aged between 10 50 years were enrolled this study, divided into 3 groups with 40 each, namely group 1 - emmetropia, 2- myopia >2.5 D 3-hypermetropia>2.5 D. In which, 58 (48.3%) females 62 (51.7%) males. This was done Department Ophthalmology, Santhiram Medical College Hospital Nandyal,from October 2019 March 2020. as well quadratic assessment RNFL cirrus-HD optical comparison among these groups. Observation Results: found be statistically significant. thickest (102.95 ± 5.629, n=40), followed emmetropic (102.55 5.505, then (83.38 3.726, n=40) (all P<0.0001) . all four quadrants, showed thinning when compared Emmetropic (p<0.001).But thicker than only temporal quadrants right eye(p<0.001)and nasal superior left eye (p=0.017) Conclusion: shows highly significant results hyperopia. When being thinnest group, slightly group.
