AB  - PURPOSE: To investigate whether an association exists between obesity and optic 
      nerve parameters. METHODS: This was a prospective comparative study including 125 
      eyes of 63 obese and 122 eyes of 62 healthy pediatric subjects. Optic nerve 
      measurements were performed using the Cirrus spectral domain optical coherence 
      tomograph (SD-OCT). RESULTS: The disc area, cup volume, mean and vertical C/D 
      ratio, inferior and temporal RNFL thickness values were significantly higher in 
      the control group than the obese group; however, age, sex, mean, superior and 
      nasal RNFL thickness and rim area measurements were not statistically 
      significantly different between the two groups. Age was significantly negatively 
      correlated with temporal RNFL thickness in the obese group. Girls had 
      significantly higher rim area, mean and superior RNFL thickness, and lower cup 
      volume and vertical C/D ratio than boys in the obese group. CONCLUSION: These 
      results could be helpful in the diagnosis and follow-up of obese children.
