Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and macular thickness measured with optical coherence tomography (OCT) on patients infected by HIV virus without ocular manifestations and to correlate these results with perimetric findings assessed by frequency doubling technology perimetry (FDT).

Conditions

• HIV Infections
• Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)	Macular and retinal nerve fiber layer OCT (Stratus OCT, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA) will be performed both in patients and controls
DEVICE	Frequency Doubling Technology (FDT) perimeter	24-2 FDT Threshold (Humphrey Matrix, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin CA; Welch-Allyn, Skaneateles, NY) will be performed both in patients and controls.
