To examine the relationship between signal strength and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Observational cross-sectional study. Forty normal subjects were recruited. Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness was measured by Stratus OCT (Carl Z...
