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.

RECRUITINGSensitivity as the proportion of anatomical structures that are detectable with the two instruments
Anatomical structures include e.g. sublayers of the cornea, sublayers of the retina, retinal vessels etc.
Time frame: 6 months
Corneal sublayer thickness (µm) and retinal sublayer thickness (µm) obtained with the two study instruments
Comparability is analyzed between various biometric values obtained with the two instruments and typical indices of comparability are produced (e.g. intraclass correlation coefficient)
Time frame: 6 months
Corneal sublayer thickness and retinal sublayer thickness obtained with the two study instruments
Repeatability for various biometric values obtained with the two instruments is analyzed and typical indices of repeatability are produced (e.g. coefficient of variation)
Time frame: 6 months
