Abstract
PurposeTo evaluate macular thickness measurements changes in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients using Swept‐source optical coherence tomography (SS‐OCT)Methods101 healthy and 97 MS eyes were included in the study. All of them underwent evaluation of retinal measurements using DRI Triton 3DH wide scan SS‐OCT. Nine macular ETDRS areas, average and central thickness, total macular volume and choroidal thickness were analysed. Comparisons between the two groups were performed using Student's T testResultsAll retinal measurements in the ETDRS macular map showed significant reduction in MS patients. Average thickness (280.41 μm in controls vs. 266.96 μm in patients, p = 0.010) and total macular volume (7.92 μm vs. 7.54 μm; p = 0.010). No significant reduction of the choroid layer thickness was found between patients and controlsConclusionsSS‐OCT Triton is an efective method to detect retinal atrophy in MS patients. Further studies comparing Spectral domain and Swept source OCT are needed to demonstrate superior capability of SS‐OCT technology to detect retinal changes.
