A Prospective Study

Purpose: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is useful in diagnosing and monitoring retinal pathology such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema (DME), central serous chorioretinopathy, and epiretinal membrane, among others. This study compared the ability of horizontal (H) 25-, 13-, and 7-cut macular OCT vs 24-, 12-, and 6-cut radial (R) macular OCT in identifying various macular pathology. Methods: This was a prospective study of 161 established patients evaluated at Wilford Hall Eye Center Retina Clinic between September and October of 2019. Pathology included age-related macular degeneration, central serous chorioretinopathy, DME, and epiretinal membrane, among others. Patients obtained 25-, 13-, and 7-cut H raster OCT as well as 24-, 12-, and 6-cut R OCT. Primary outcomes were sensitivity in detecting macular fluid and each macular abnormality. Results: The 24-cut radial (R24) OCT equally or out-performed the H25 (horizontal 25-cut OCT) in detecting macular fluid across all pathological groups. Generally, a higher number of cuts correlated with better detection of fluid. In detecting any macular abnormalities, H25, R24, and R12 had 100% sensitivity. R6 OCT had near 100% sensitivity across all groups, except for DME (95%). Overall, R OCT had better sensitivity (0.960) than H OCT (0.907) in detecting macular pathology. Conclusions: R outperformed H macular OCT in detecting fluid and other abnormalities. Clinically, both scanning patterns can be used by ophthalmologists in diagnosis and management of commonly encountered macular diseases. Technicians may be able to use a variety of these scans to screen for pathology prior to physician evaluation.

Fellow Eyes

We evaluated the spectrum of choriocapillaris (CC) abnormalities in the fellow eyes of unilateral exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA). Fellow eyes of unilateral exudative AMD patients were prospectively included between May 2018 and October 2018. Patients underwent a multimodal imaging including a SS-OCTA. Demographics and clinical findings were analyzed. The estimated prevalence of macular neovascularization (MNV) was computed. Number and size of flow deficits (FDs) and percentage of flow deficits (FD%) were computed on the compensated CC flow images with the Fiji software. We included 97 eyes of 97 patients (mean age was 80 ± 7.66 years, 39 males, 58 females). The prevalence of MNV in the studied eyes was 8.25% (8/97 eyes). In the 89 non-neovascular eyes, FD% averaged 45.84% ± 11.63%, with a corresponding total area of FDs of 4.19 ± 1.12 mm2. There was a higher prevalence of drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment in eyes with subclinical neovascularization (p = 0.021). Fellow eyes with unilateral exudative AMD encompassed a series of CC abnormalities, from FDs of the aging CC to subclinical non-exudative MNV.
