چکیده
Results: The mean (SD) ages of the patients with PD and healthy subjects were 64.0(6.5) years vs 63.5(10.7) years (P=.77). The mean (SD) intraocular pressure was 13.6 ( /−2.7) mm Hg in the PD patients. No difference was found in either the superior or inferior outer retinal layer thickness of PD vs control eyes. The mean (SD) superior inner retinal layer thickness of PD vs control eyes was 88.79 (11.3) μm vs 103.5 (24.3) μm (P=.01), and the mean inferior inner retinal layer thickness was 89.83 (11.1) μm vs 104.0 (23.5) μm (P=.01).

The Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness is Related to Severity of Parkinson’s Disease
Introduction: We investigated correlation between the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and the severity of Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: In this study, the RNFL thickness of 23 patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) was compared to normal controls (NCs). PD severity was assessed by the MDS-UPDRS (movement disorder society Unified Parkinson Disea...

OBJECTIVE To quantify retinal thickness in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). METHODS Forty-five eyes of 24 PD patients and 31 eyes of 17 control subjects underwent a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination. We used optical coherence tomography to examine retinal thickness, separately quantifying the inner and outer retinal layers. Intraocular pressure was measured by Goldmann applanation...
متن کاملRetinal thinning in Gaucher disease patients and carriers: Results of a pilot study☆☆☆
Both Gaucher disease patients and heterozygous glucocerebrosidase mutation carriers are at increased risk of Parkinson's disease. Retinal thinning has been reported in early Parkinson's disease. Here we used optical coherence tomography to demonstrate thinning of the retinal ganglion cell layer in Gaucher disease patients and carriers who manifest clinical markers of potential early neurodegene...
متن کاملRetinal nerve fiber layer thickness in Parkinson disease.
Dopaminergic neuronal cells have been identified in the inner nuclear and inner plexiform layers of the human retina. The dopaminergic content of the retina is reduced in patients with idiopathic Parkinson disease (PD). These observations led us to study the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in patients with PD without visual impairment compared to healthy controls using spectral-domai...
متن کاملVenturing into the no-man's land of the retina in Parkinson's disease.
The development of optical coherence tomography (OCT) has led to increasing interest in the retina in Parkinson's disease (PD). The retina is a multilayered tissue: looking into the eye from the outside, these layers comprise the nerve fiber layer (NFL); the ganglion cell layer (GCL); the inner plexiform layer (IPL), which contains the interconnecting plexus, including tyrosine hydroxylase-posi...
