The Relationship between Visual Field Global Indices and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Healthy Myopes

Table 3

The association between mean sensitivity (MS) and RNFL thickness.

Per 10 μm increase in RNFL thickness				MS change (dB)	95% CIs			value
General linear model	OD	Model I	57	−0.59	(−0.98, −0.20)	−0.37	0.13	0.005
		Model II		−0.59	(−0.98, −0.20)		0.23	0.008
	OS	Model I	57	−0.77	(−1.22, −0.32)	−0.40	0.16	0.002
		Model II		−0.78	(−1.26, −0.31)		0.26	0.002
Mixed model^*		Model I	114	−0.39	(−0.70, −0.08)			0.014
		Model II		−0.39	(−0.70, −0.08)			0.012
		Model III		−0.39	(−0.71, −0.07)			0.019

The associations were expressed by the change of MS (dB) per 10 m (approximately 1 SD) increase of RNFL thickness.
Model I: unadjusted model.
Model II: adjusted for age, sex, refraction (diopters), and area of optic disc (mm²).
Model III: adjusted for age, sex, and ocular magnification scale based on Bennett’s formula.
^*The mixed model combined the data of both right eyes and left eyes accounting for intraindividual binocular correlation.
SD: standard deviation; RNFL: retinal nerve fiber layer; CI: confidence interval; OD: oculus dexter (the right eye); OS: oculus sinister (the left eye).
