Definition of OCT measurement.
a) Macular radial scan, b) Retinal layers used in the OCT measurement: Nerve fiber layer (NFL) thickness from the internal limiting membrane (ILM) to the NFL; Ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) thickness from the ganglion cell layer (GCL) to the inner plexiform layer (IPL); Outer nuclear layer (ONL) to Bruch’s membrane (BM) thickness; Fovea; Choroid. The average macular thickness was then defined as IML to BM c) Diagram of the nine ETDRS subfields.
