Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how various physiological and demographic factors, along with non-ocular health conditions and medication use, impact the thickness of the peri-papillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL T) and other inner retinal measurements in healthy eyes.
- Utilizing data from 705 participants with normal eye health, the researchers analyzed OCT scan results and compared these against several predictors, including age, sex, race, and drug usage.
- Findings revealed significant associations between certain medications and health conditions with changes in retinal measurements, indicating that factors like systemic corticosteroids and antineoplastic agents can notably alter retinal thickness and optic nerve cup dimensions.
