Ganglion Cell Layer, Inner Plexiform Layer, and Choroidal Layer Correlate Better with Disorder Severity in ADHD Patients than Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer: An Optical Coherence Tomography Study

Abstract

Aim: To assess the thickness of the choroidal layer, inner plexiform layer (IPL), ganglion cell layer (GCL), and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
 Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, we used a spectral optical coherence tomography (OCT) device. The CPRS-48 was performed to the ADHD group. 
 Results: Both groups consisted of 60 subjects. There were significant differences in NS segment of RNFL (right p=0.039; left p=0.035). The mean right choroidal thickness of ADHD group was significantly lower than the control group (p=0.015). The left GCL and IPL volumes of ADHD group were significantly lower than the control group (p
