To measure peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in healthy Japanese individuals using optical coherence tomography (OCT). OCT was used to measure the eyes of 460 healthy Japanese volunteers aged 20 to 84. One eye of each individual was selected for the statistical analysis. Age-related cp RNFL loss varies according to segment. When OCT is used to evaluate cp RNFL thickness, regional and age-related differences need to be taken into consideration.
