Revista Brasileira de Oftalmologia, Rio de Janeiro, v. 70, n. 3, p. 142-146, 2011.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/17607Purpose: To evaluate the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in sickle cell disease with optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: The present study selected patients with sickle cell disease (SS) from the Federal University of Goias, and normal volunteers, controlled by age and sex. Inclusion criteria for both groups were: visual acuity e” 20/30 without correction, intraocular pressure d” 21mmHg and a reliable and normal 24-2 Sita Standard visual field and optic disc. Thereafter, all subjects were submitted to OCT, Fast RNFL strategy, and the results compared between groups. Results: Twenty-four patients (24 eyes) were included per group. The mean age was 25.2 ± 14.9 years in the sickle cell group and 20.5 ± 12.5 years in the normal subjects (p=0.09). There was no statistically difference in the mean RNFL thickness between both groups in all areas evaluated. Conclusion: There was no statistically difference in the mean RNFL thickness measured by OCT between normal individuals and patients with sickle cell disease with normal ophthalmic examination.porAcesso AbertoGlaucomaTomografia de coerência ópticaAnemia falciformeFibras nervosas/patologiaRetinaTécnicas de diagnóstico oftalmológicoLasers/uso diagnósticoGlaucomaSickle cell diseaseNerve fibers/pathologyRetinaTomography optical coherenceDiagnostic techniques ophthalmologicalLasers/ diagnostic useArtigo10.1590/S0034-72802011000300002
