Normative Values of Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in a Middle Eastern Population.

Conclusions: Our set of predicted normative data may be used to interpret measurements of pRNFL thickness in Middle Eastern patients. Our findings suggest that systemic conditions with potential ocular manifestations may require consideration in predictive models of pRNFL thickness, even in the absence of gross fundoscopic findings. Normative data from additional Middle Eastern populations are required to appraise our models, which adjust for common clinical confounders. PMID: 30310697 [PubMed]
