Influence of Axial Length on Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Children: A Study by RTVue Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography

Abstract

In conclusion, axial length influences peripapillary RNFL thickness as measured by RTVue OCT. However, this appears to be due to the ocular magnification effects associated with axial length and can be corrected for with the application of the Littman formula.
