Determinants of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer’s grayscale value in normal eyes by spectral domain optical coherence tomography

Abstract To determine and evaluate the distribution, variation, and determinants of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) grayscale value with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in normal eyes. In this cross-sectional study, three hundred ninety-seven normal eyes from 39...

In multivariable analysis, average pRNFL grayscale value was independently correlated to older age (β = − 0.053, p = 0.002), longer axial length (β = − 0.664, p = 0.003), lower RPE grayscale value (β = 0.372, p < 0.001) and lower ImageQ (β = 0.658, p < 0.001).
