Purpose. To investigate the effect of refractive error on the physiologic thinning rate of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in healthy eyes. Materials and Methods. This study analyzed 223 eyes of 141 healthy subjects followed for more than 5 years and underwent at least five serial spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) examinations. Longitudinal RNFL measurements were analyzed by linear mixed models incorporating follow-up duration, baseline RNFL thickness, spherical equivalent (SE), age, intraocular pressure, and visual field mean deviation. Thinning rates were classified according to SE into three groups: nonmyopic (NM; >0 D), mild-to-moderately myopic (MM; >–6 D and ≤0 D), and highly myopic (HM; ≤–6 D). Results. The overall slopes of change in RNFL thickness over time in the NM, MM, and HM groups were −0.305 ± 0.128, −0.294 ± 0.068, and −0.208 ± 0.097 μm/yr, respectively. Slopes of RNFL thickness changes in these groups were −0.514 ± 0.248, −0.520 ± 0.133, and −0.528 ± 0.188 μm/yr, in the superior quadrant; −0.084 ± 0.145, 0.107 ± 0.082, and −0.161 ± 0.112 μm/yr, in the temporal quadrant; −0.807 ± 0.242, −0.794 ± 0.130, and −0.727 ± 0.183 μm/yr, in the inferior quadrant; and 0.160 ± 0.157, 0.118 ± 0.084, and 0.429 ± 0.119 μm/yr, in the nasal quadrant. Overall and in all four quadrants, there was no significant difference in the rate of RNFL thickness change among the three groups. Conclusions. Refractive error did not affect the physiologic thinning rate of RNFL when assessed by SD OCT.

Aim: Estimation of the ocular status in adolescents with diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII), assessment of the development of the diabetic retinopathy (DR) and nephropathy (DN) within 10 years. Methods: 37 patients (74 eyes) aged 16-33 years, treated with CSII were enrolled to the study. Baseline, and a 10- year follow-up evaluation included: best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), tonometry, slit lamp exam and fluorescein angiography (FLA). Additionally, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) was done in the 7th year of observation to assess the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber (RNFL) and the ganglion cellinner plexiform layers (GCL-IPL) complex thickness. Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1) and albuminuria were also analysed. Results: During the 10-year observation period DR (non-proliferative - NPDR, proliferative - PDR, diabetic macular edema - DME) was diagnosed in 3 (8%) patients. In the DR group: BCVA was significantly lower, intraocular pressure (IOP) levels and albuminuria were higher. There were no differences in HbA1 in both groups. The thinning of RNFL was observed in both groups. Macular RNFL, GCL-IPL complex thickness assessment showed a significantly higher number of borderline results in the group with DR. Conclusions: Diabetic patients treated with CSII are at a lower risk of developing vascular complications even with poor metabolic control. Increased albuminuria may be a predictive sign for early ocular complications, and requires intense observation. Diagnosis of RNFL and GCL-IPL decreased values is crucial prior to diabetic retinopathy development. SD-OCT is a non-invasive, easy-to-perform, relatively inexpensive procedure, and can be a useful tool to monitor neuropathy progression.
