Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

An increasing number of clinical studies on SD-OCT of ocular pathologies and potential new clinical applications has recently been published in the peer-reviewed literature. However, the successful use of SD-OCT in routine clinical use depends upon the diagnostic sensitivity, biometric accuracy and reliability of the SD-OCT machines. This prospective, comparative, observational study aims to evaluate the imaging quality and diagnostic performance of two commercially available SD-OCT machines for both the anterior and posterior segment of the eye.

    Arms and Interventions

    Arm Intervention/Treatment
    Normal subjects

    Patient with healthy, normal eyes

    Eyes with corneal disease

    Subjects that have any of the following conditions Corneal dystrophy or degeneration Corneal scarring Corneal ulcer Corneal injury Keratoconus Patients who had undergone corneal surgery Patients with other corneal disease

    Eyes with retinal disease

    Subjects that have any of the following conditions: Diabetic macular edema Cystoid macular edema Age related macular degeneration Retinal vascular disorders (e.g. retinal artery occlusion) Epiretinal membrane Choroidal nevus Macular hole Patients who had undergone retinal surgery Patients with other retinal disease

    Eyes with glaucoma

    Eyes diagnosed with glaucoma of any type and any stage

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Sensitivity as the proportion of anatomical structures that are detectable with the two instruments [6 months]

      Anatomical structures include e.g. sublayers of the cornea, sublayers of the retina, retinal vessels etc.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Corneal sublayer thickness (µm) and retinal sublayer thickness (µm) obtained with the two study instruments [6 months]

      Comparability is analyzed between various biometric values obtained with the two instruments and typical indices of comparability are produced (e.g. intraclass correlation coefficient)

    2. Corneal sublayer thickness and retinal sublayer thickness obtained with the two study instruments [6 months]

      Repeatability for various biometric values obtained with the two instruments is analyzed and typical indices of repeatability are produced (e.g. coefficient of variation)
