Abstract

AIM: to evaluate the results of the retinal inner layers thickness measurement by optical coherence tomography in groups of healthy people of different age. MATTERIAL AND METHODS: 99 people divided into three groups: I – 20 people, 52–59 years, II – 56 people 60–69 years, III – 23 people, 70–82 years have been examined with optical coherence tomography RTVue-100. Thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell layer, the percentage of global and focal loss of ganglion cells have been investigated. RESULTS: The thickness of the nerve fiber layer and ganglion cells reduced slightly according to the age. Global and focal loss of ganglion cells tends to increase.
