Question about my OCT results
I'm 18 years old, no history of myopia or glaucoma, normal pressures, i have myopia in both eyes (approximately -5 in LE and -5.75 in RE), very high corneal thickness (595 and 594 microns) but OCT that i've recently done made me really scared and forced me to search on the web for similar cases: i have very thin RNFL (69 microns in both eyes) despite the fact that all the other parameters are within normal range, i have almost symmetric thinning of Inferior and Superior quadrants in both of my eyes.
Here are the results that i've already posted some time ago on one of the medical forums, the signal strength of OCT was 3 and 4 (apparently this can make results worse than they really are):

Now, i've read that myopic patients often have bad thinning in Inf and Sup quadrants but this seems really weird.Does it look like glaucoma or just pathological individual anatomy?I've also done visual field tests which were normal (PSD was lower than -2.00 and i was doing it without lenses or glasses due to some weird mistake of the medical technician).
I perfectly realize that glaucoma is a progressive disease and it cannot be determined simply judging by the very first OCT especially if signal strength is that low, but i'm just looking for what you can tell me judging from your experience, nothing else.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-intrusive imaging test. OCT utilizes light waves to take cross-segment photos of your retina. With OCT, your ophthalmologist can see every one of the retina's particular layers.
The flag quality should be 8 or higher to be dependable. those are not solid with flag 3 and 4 Even when they are symmetrical and container volume the equivalent and very little of the lines in the red zone.

You are starting to obsess again. 17 or 18 post. The signal strength needs to be 8 or higher to be reliable. those are not reliable with signal 3 and 4 Even then they are symmetrical and cup volume the same and not much of the lines in the red zone.

Thanks, mister Hagan, i truly appreciate you not getting tired of helping me with my eyes, not really "obsessed", it's just i said that i'll come back once i do some real and serious tests, so here i am once again, heh.
Thank you once again, till next OCT, i guess!
