Abstract

To evaluate RNFL & GCL thickness in patients with optic neuritis

Method: 25 eyes of 25 patients with optic neuritis(unilateral involvement) in age group18-65 yrs were include in 1 year of period. Based on disc changes, average RNFL & GCL thickness were measured by SD-OCT in patients with optic neuritis & compared with control of same age group.

Result: Mean± SD value of average RNFL thickness in optic neuritis was 226.5±91.90 and control eyes was 91.89±12.64µm (p<0.0001)&amp; average GCL thickness mean± SD in optic neuritis were 64.57±24.35 and control eyes were 82.58±8.21µm(p<0.0001) respectively. Conclusion: Quantification of RNFL &amp; GCL thickness by OCT provides indirect measure of axonal &amp; neuronal loss in anterior visual pathways.GCC loss is hallmark of optic neuropathy &amp; should be monitored for early detection &amp; prognosis in optic neuritis.
