Reduced Central thickness of retina scan
Hello Doctors,
I need one guidance on my mother's eye condition. In the OCT scan the central thickness was found to be 158 in right eye and 166 in left eye.
Is there any treatment to restore the same? Because the concerned doctor informed us that there is no treatment for the reduced thickenss. Please guide us. If there is any possible treatment then we can go for the same.

As per OCT retinal thickness is reduced than normal retina. It usually due to age related changes in the macula and that cannot be restored back.
