Optic Nerve Head Parameters Measured with Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography in Healthy Turkish Children: Normal Values, Repeatability, and Interocular Symmetry

To determine normal values, repeatability, and interocular symmetry of optic nerve head measurements, three spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scans were obtained from 128 healthy Turkish children aged 5–17 years consecutively and prospectively. The mean disc area, rim area, cup volume, cup to disc area ratio, and vertical and horizontal cup to disc ratios were 2.30 ± 0.42 mm2, 1.84 ± 0.45 mm2, 0.09 ± 0.10 mm3, 0.20 ± 0.13, 0.37 ± 0.17, and 0.45 ± 0.20, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficients were >0.9 for repeatability and >0.75 for interocular correlation. Interocular differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Normal paediatric SD-OCT measurements of the optic nerve head are presented, which showed excellent repeatability and no interocular difference
