Abstract

Background: In the diagnosis and evaluation of many visual illnesses, such as macular edema, macular thickness is an important metric. Gender, age, ethnicity, refraction, and axial length all have an effect on the retinal macular thickness.  Preoperative calculations of intraocular lens power during cataract surgery and myopia research necessitate precise and accurate measurements of axial eye length. Objective: To assess the macular thickness in eyes with no ocular pathology, which is important because it serves as a reference for the consequent diagnosis, and to assess the effectiveness of treatment for various macula-related illnesses.
