Overview

Population-based study establishes sublayer thickness in children aged 6-12, suggesting gender differences.

Key Points

  • The study establishes normative data for macular sublayer thickness in Iranian children using optical coherence tomography.
  • Boys exhibited longer axial lengths by approximately 0.4 mm and thicker foveae by about 5 µm compared to girls, indicating significant gender differences.
  • Regression analysis revealed that age and gender both significantly influence retinal sublayer thickness from OCT imaging.
  • Older children showed thicker retinal layers, particularly in the outer nuclear layer and retinal pigment epithelium, suggesting developmental changes.
