Macular thickness assessment of healthy eye based on ethinicity among school children using optical coherence tomography (OCT) / Siti Nor Hajar Mohd Zulkifli

This study examined the normal range of macular thickness in Malay, Chinese and Indian children using Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SO-OCT). This study comprised of sixty children recruited from several primary schools situated within 14 kilometers from UiTM Puncak Alam as the repres...

This study comprised of sixty children recruited from several primary schools situated within 14 kilometers from UiTM Puncak Alam as the representative population of the residential area. Subjects aged between 10 and 11 were ensured to have best corrected visual acuity of 6/9 or better in either eye, have range of refractive error between +3.00 DS to -3.00DS with astigmatism ± 3.00 DC and both parents are of same races.

The foveal thickness stratified by race has shown that the Malay (250.79J..lm ± 38.56) and Chinese children (253.77J..lrn ± 28.43) have almost similar thickness while Indian children have the thinnest with mean of 238.08J..lm ± 25.54.
