Reproducibility of a Long-Range Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Ocular Biometry System and Comparison with Clinical Biometers – Corrected Proof
Objective: To demonstrate a novel swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) imaging device using a vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) capable of imaging the full eye length and to introduce a method using this device for noncontact ocular biometry. To compare the measurements of intraocular distances using this SS-OCT instrument with commercially available optical and ultrasound biometers. To evaluate the intersession reproducibility of measurements of intraocular distances using SS-OCT.Design: Evaluation of technology.Participants: Twenty eyes of 10 healthy subjects imaged at the New England Eye Center at Tufts Medical Center and Massachusetts Institute of Technology between May and September 2012.Methods: Averaged central (Read more...)
