Layer-by-layer macular, peripapillary and choroidal thickness and minimum rim width in patients with clinically unilateral pseudoexfoliation syndrome: cross-sectional analysis using glaucoma module premium edition of the spectralis SD-OCT

Key Points

• This analysis aims to determine the thickness of various eye layers in patients with unilateral pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
• Conducted a cross-sectional analysis using the glaucoma module of the SD-OCT.
• Evaluated layer-by-layer macular thickness, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness, and minimum rim width (MRW).
• Compared findings between pseudoexfoliation syndrome patients and healthy eyes.
• Patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome showed lower macular and pRNFL thickness compared to healthy eyes.
• Fellow eyes of pseudoexfoliation patients exhibited similar thickness reductions.
• Significant decreases were also seen in minimum rim width and subfoveal choroidal thickness.
