Abstract:Objective: To detect changes in the outer retinal structure using optical coherence tomography and to study the correlation between outer retinal thickness and visual acuity in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: This case-series study included 35 cases of PD and 39 age- and gender-matched healthy participants. Images of the outer plexiform layer (OPL), outer nuclear layer (ONL) and photoreceptor layer (PRL) were obtained by SD-OCT. The average thickness of each layer was analyzed by an automated layering software. A generalized estimating equation (GEE) was used to compare the differences in the thickness of the three layers (OPL, ONL, PRL) between patients with Parkinson's disease and healthy controls (HCs). Pearson correlation analysis was used to study the correlation between outer retinal thickness and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Results: Thirty-five patients with Parkinson's disease (63 eyes included) and the 39 HCs (75 eyes included) were included in final analysis. The BCVA was worse in PD patients than in HCs (P<0.001). The thickness of the OPL and ONL was thinner in PD patients (P=0.011, P=0.008, respectively). The thinning of the ONL thickness was correlated with worse BCVA (r=0.283 , P=0.026). Conclusions: The visual system and outer retinal structures in patients with Parkinson's disease are damaged. The index for the outer nuclear layer structure may be used as an image indicator to monitor the damage to the visual system in patients with Parkinson's disease.
