Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer Thinning in Patients with Thalassaemia, Iron Deficiency Anaemia, and Anaemia of Chronic Diseases
Purpose.Retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) is a sensitive structure, which is affected by anaemia due to hypoxia.A timely detection of RNFL thinning may aid preventing devastating complications.Optical coherence tomography (OCT) measures RNFL thinning with accuracy and helps in detecting thinning of the retinal layer in anaemic patients.This study wa
