RETINAL AND CHOROIDAL THICKNESS MEASUREMENTS BY CIRRUS, DRI, AND ANGIOVUE OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY DEVICES IN HIGH MYOPIA EYES
Journal Title: International Journal Of Advances In Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the central fovea and subfoveal choroidal thickness with the uses of three different brands of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT); compare their effectiveness and reliability. Methods: 146 patients (with 252 eyes) were purposefully selected diagnosed with visual disorders such as high myopia (N=58, study group 1), degenerative myopia (N=48, study group 2) and emmetropia (N=122, control group). Paired t-test and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICCs) were applied to obtain any correlation among groups and the devices. Results: Findings showed that no significant differences exist among the subjects for the CFT. Intra-class correlations were calculated as 0.674, 0.713 and 0.786 for the devices. Similar results were obtained in degenerative myopia and different scores between emmetropia and high myopia (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Statistically significant differences among patients' initial measurements of central foveal and subfoveal choroidal thicknesses and high correlations were measured among the devices.
