  • A total of 1,524 eyes from 908 participants were evaluated, revealing a minor average change in RNFL thickness, with variations depending on eye quadrants and specific demographic factors.
  • Results indicated that changes in RNFL thickness were mostly insignificant in a healthy population, with certain factors like axial length and macular volume showing correlations to these changes.
