Overview

Study reveals normative retinal thickness data in children aged 5–17, highlighting the importance of device-specific norms.

Key Points

  • Normative values for total macular thickness were found to be 287.5 µm for ages 5–7 and 290.5 µm for ages 8–17.
  • Measurements for macular ganglion cell layer thickness were 75.7 µm in younger children and 74.9 µm in older children.
  • Strong repeatability was observed, with correlations of 0.991 for macular thickness and 0.954 for cpRNFL thickness.
  • Findings emphasize the need for region-specific pediatric norms in optical coherence tomography to improve clinical practices.
