Background: Asymmetry analysis of retinal layers in right and left eyes can be a valuable tool for
early diagnoses of retinal diseases. To determine the limits of the normal interocular asymmetry in
retinal layers around macula, thickness measurements are obtained with optical coherence tomography
(OCT). Methods: For this purpose, after segmentation of intraretinal layer in threedimensional OCT
data and calculating the midmacular point, the TM of each layer is obtained in ۹ sectors in concentric
circles around the macula. To compare corresponding sectors in the right and left eyes, the TMs of
the left and right images are registered by alignment of retinal raphe (i.e. diskfovea axes). Since the
retinal raphe of macular OCTs is not calculable due to limited region size, the TMs are registered
by first aligning corresponding retinal raphe of fundus images and then registration of the OCTs
to aligned fundus images. To analyze the asymmetry in each retinal layer, the mean and standard
deviation of thickness in ۹ sectors of ۱۱ layers are calculated in ۵۰ normal individuals. Results:
The results demonstrate that some sectors of retinal layers have signifcant asymmetry with P <
۰.۰۵ in normal population. In this base, the tolerance limits for normal individuals are calculated.
Conclusion: This article shows that normal population does not have identical retinal information in
both eyes, and without considering this reality, normal asymmetry in information gathered from both
eyes might be interpreted as retinal disorders.
