Dear Editor,

We thank Sony for their interest in our article.[1] We agree that theirs was the first published report of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in the normal Indian population. This was indeed a case of simultaneous submission of two similar articles from different places. Otherwise we would have definitely included their article in our study.

Considering the data from these two manuscripts, we will also like to point out that our study with optical coherence tomography was done for normal South Indian subjects and as their study was conducted in Delhi, we expect that the population they studied had North Indian subjects. Considering the ethnicity, the possible difference in the two population groups was expected. We found that the average, superior, inferior, temporal and nasal para-papillary nerve fiber layer values were similar for the two study groups ( P >0.05). As this difference in the retinal nerve fiber layer measurements was not significant the data defined in the two studies can be applied throughout India.
