The 11 retinal layers were the NFL (layer 1), GCL (layer 2), IPL (layer 3), INL (layer 4), OPL (layer 5), ONL + OLM + HFL (layer 6), ISL (layer 7), CL (layer 8), OSL (layer 9), VM (layer 10), and RPE/BM (layer 11). Sector 1 = fovea; Sector 2 = parafoveal superior, Sector 3 = parafoveal nasal, Sector 4 = parafoveal inferior, Sector 5 = parafoveal temporal; Sector 6 = perifoveal superior, Sector 7 = perifoveal nasal, Sector 8 = perifoveal inferior, and Sector 9 = perifoveal temporal.
