Abstract
Abstract Purpose To compare new Fourier‐domain optical coherence tomographies (OCT) for measuring retinal thickness in eyes with macular hole (MH). Methods Thirty‐eight eyes from 38 patients diagnosed of MH (17 men and 21 women, aged 51‐ 82 years) without other ophthalmic diseases, were prospective and consecutively studied. All of them underwent a ophthalmic examination including best corrected visual acuity, fundus examination, three Cirrus HD‐OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Ca, USA) and three Spectralis OCT (Heidelberg Engineering, Germany). Comparisons of OCT measurements were done for the nine macular areas defined by the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS). Correlations between OCT measures were studied by Pearson test. Results Mean total retinal thicknesses were 347.0 ± 67.78 μm using Cirrus HD and 344.71 ± 43.63 μm with Spectralis OCT. All retinal measurements showed significant differences between the two devices (p<0.05), except in superior and nasal inner ETDRS area. The mean value for retinal thickness measurements was 21.44 µm less using Cirrus HD‐OCT. Cirrus and Spectralis OCT parameters showed good correlations. Conclusion MH eyes evaluated by Cirrus and Spectralis OCT show differences in their macular measurements.
