Parkinson´s disease and retinal optical coherence tomography

Purpose The aim of the study was to assess the retinal measurements and optic nerve head (ONH) morphology in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and to determine whether there is any correlation among these parameters and the disease´s duration. Methods Thirty patients affected by PD (mean a...

Description
Summary:Purpose The aim of the study was to assess the retinal measurements and optic nerve head (ONH) morphology in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and to determine whether there is any correlation among these parameters and the disease´s duration. Methods Thirty patients affected by PD (mean age 67,3 ± 8,4; range: 49 ‐ 83) were compared with 28 age‐matched controls. In all subjects, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, ONH measurements, and macular thickness and volume were measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Results PD patients showed a statistically significant reduction of the overall peripapillary RNFL thickness [95±9µm, range: 73‐117] compared with those values observed in control eyes [103±7µm, range:87‐117] (p
