研究目的
Comparing the fixation stability measurements obtained with two microperimeters, the Micro Perimeter 1 (MP-1) and the Spectral OCT/SLO (OCT/SLO), in subjects with and without maculopathies.
研究成果
Fixation stability assessment yields similar results using the OCT/SLO and MP-1. A major difference in sampling rate between the two microperimeters does not significantly affect BCEA measurements. Both devices may be used in clinical care for patients with maculopathies.
研究不足
The study did not explore disease-specific conclusions due to the large variation in lesion characteristics, disease courses, and the small sample numbers in each subgroup. The fixation location assessments were not compared due to differing methods between the two microperimeters.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved a 20-second fixation test using the MP-1 and OCT/SLO microperimeters. The bivariate contour ellipse area (BCEA) was used for fixation stability evaluation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A total of 41 eyes with no known ocular diseases and 45 eyes with maculopathies were enrolled.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Micro Perimeter 1 (MP-1; Nidek Technologies, Padova, Italy) and Spectral OCT/SLO (OCT/SLO; Optos Plc., Dunfermline, UK).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Participants were asked to look toward the center of a 28 red cross target for 20 seconds with the fellow eye patched.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The BCEA value encompassing 68% of fixation was calculated using a specific formula. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS statistical package.
