AB  - PURPOSE: To compare the thicknesses of the retinal layers in smokers with those 
      of nonsmoking healthy subjects using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography 
      (SD-OCT). METHODS: One hundred and eight subjects were included in the study. Two 
      groups were separated as smokers and nonsmokers. Both groups were chosen to be 
      similar in terms of age and gender. SD-OCT images were generated with Spectralis 
      OCT (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany). An automated algorithm was 
      developed to segment the macular retina into eight layers and quantitate the 
      thickness of each layer for the fovea, parafovea and perifovea. RESULTS: The mean 
      smoking history was 18.33 +/- 8.45 years (range: 10-40). The mean number of 
      pack-years was 22.22 +/- 15.51 (range: 10-80). No significant difference was 
      observed regarding retinal layer measurements between the smoker and nonsmoker 
      groups. Also, no significant difference was observed for central macular 
      thicknesses at 1000, 3000, and 6000 mum between two groups. CONCLUSION: The 
      thickness of retinal layers in healthy smokers was similar to those of healthy 
      individuals.
