Funded Activity Summary

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) of the optic disc and retina has been introduced rapidly into clinical practice, yet there is a paucity of data on its normal distribution or its comparisons with clinical appearances as seen in photographic images. Using the extensive database of OCT and optic disc photos of a population sample of 4091 schoolchildren, influences of confounders (eye size and shape, body size, refraction) will be assessed to aid clinicians in their interpretation of OCT results.
