Oct eye scan shows thin retina. was all red and yellow. pressures normal. vision is great. can this just be normal for me? nerves look damaged. 27 yo.

Hard to say: OCT is a newer technology so a lot of things are not known about what their findings mean. However, a thinning retina is a cause for worry about what can happen in the future; there are fewer nerve cells left in a thin retina. So even though your vision is fine now, it could lead to blindness. The cause does not seem to be known but just 1 normal pressure reading does not exclude glaucoma. TTYD.
