Hi,

Based from this image, was this considered as thin retina? What is normal retina thickness?

Thanks

Thanks for your Question

From the image that you uploaded, your retina looks normal and also the thickness is within normal range.

Sometimes in patients with high myopia, false artifacts can appear in OCT that can give false impression of abnormal results.

Do you have Hypertension or Diabetes Mellitus ?

No I don't have hypertension nor diabetes mellitus.

Then there is nothing to worry about. Part of the OCT test that showed false artifacts ( ETDRS ) is done mainly for patients with Diabetes.
