Thinner retinal nerve fibre layer in young adults with foetal alcohol spectrum disorders

British Journal of Ophthalmology Jul 22, 2020

Gyllencreutz E, Aring E, Landgren V, et al. - This study was undertaken to determine if retinal thickness, retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) and optic disc area vary between people with foetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) and healthy controls. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was obtained from 26 young adults with FASD (12 women, median age 23 years) and 27 controls (18 women, median age 25 years) in terms of the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), refraction, and fundus variables measured by optical coherence tomography. This group of young adults with FASD observed substantial differences in peripapillary and macular RNFL, retinal thickness, and BCVA as opposed to healthy controls. However, there were no variations in the optic disc size
