Purpose: To determine the effects of age, optic disc area, ethnicity, eye, gender, and axial length on the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in the normal human eye as measured by Stratus OCT (optical coherence tomography).Design: Cross-sectional observational study.Participants: Three hundred twenty-eight normal subjects 18 to 85 years old.Methods: Peripapillary Fast RNFL scans performed by Stratus OCT with a nominal diameter of 3.46 mm centered on the optic disc were performed on one randomly selected eye of each subject.Main Outcome Measures: Linear regression analysis of the effects of age, ethnicity, gender, eye, axial length, and optic disc area on peripapillary RNFL thickness.Results: The mean RNFL thickness for the entire population was 100.1 mu m (standard deviation, 11.6). Thinner RNFL measurements were associated with older age (P
