Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer and Macular Thickness Measurement in Patients with Schizophrenia

Abstract

We detected RNFL and macular thinning in patients with schizophrenia. Based on these findings and results of other studies evaluating retina using OCT and brain magnetic resonance imaging studies in patients with schizophrenia, a neurodegenerative process may be an underlying pathologic mechanism in this disease.
