PURPOSE: To evaluate the thickness of the 10 retinal layers in the paramacular area-of Parkinson disease patients using a new segmentation technology of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to examine whether the thickness of specific layers predicts neurodegeneration or Parkinson disease severity.DESIGN: Observational prospective study.METHODS: Parkinson disease patients (n = 129) and age-matched healthy subjects (n = 129) were enrolled. The Spectralis OCT system was used to automatically segment all retinal layers in a parafoveal scan using the new segmentation application prototype. Mean thickness of each layer was calculated and compared between Parkinson disease patients and healthy subjects, and between Parkinson disease patients with disease durations of less than or at least 10 years. A correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the association between retinal layer thickness, duration of disease, and Parkinson disease severity. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the most sensitive layer for predicting axonal atrophy.RESULTS: Parkinson disease patients showed statistically significant reduced thickness in the retinal nerve fiber, ganglion cell, inner plexiform, and outer plexiform layers and increased thickness in the inner nuclear layer compared with healthy subjects (P
