Abstract:
Background/Aims: To compare retinal thickness measurements obtained by the Spectralis and Stratus OCT 3 in healthy children and adults. Methods: Central volume scan (25-scan pattern) and macular thickness map protocols were performed subsequently using the Spectralis OCT and Stratus OCT 3 on a randomly selected eye of 34 healthy adults (18-50 years) and 20 children (6-17 years). Nine Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) subfields were analyzed and compared between the children and adults. Results: All retinal thickness measurements obtained by the Spectralis OCT were greater than those measured with the Stratus OCT 3 (p < 0.01). In adults, the mean paired difference of measurements with both devices was 64.9 +/- 13.2 mu m (central minimum) and 75.8 +/- 4.7 mu m (central subfield). In children, the respective values were 56.6 +/- 13.1 mu m and 69.7 +/- 9.1 mu m, being significantly lower (p < 0.05). Conclusion: In healthy eyes, measurements with the Stratus OCT 3 can be adjusted to measurements obtained using the Spectralis OCT by the values mentioned above, considering differences between children and adults.
