Abstract Background To understand the differences between two different optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) devices in detecting glaucomatous from healthy eyes by comparing their vascular parameters, diagnostic accuracy and test-retest reliability. Methods A cross-sectional observational study was performed on healthy and glaucoma subjects, on whom two sets of OCTA images of optic disc and macula were acquired using both AngioVue (Optovue, USA) and Swept Source (Topcon, Japan) OCTA devices during one visit. A novel in-house software was used to calculate the vessel densities. Diagnostic accuracy of the machines in differentiating healthy versus glaucomatous eyes was determined using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and test-retest repeatability of the machines was also evaluated. Results A total of 80 healthy and 38 glaucomatous eyes were evaluated. Glaucomatous eyes had reduced mean vessel density compared to healthy controls in all segmented layers of the optic disc and macula using AngioVue (p ≤ 0.001). However, glaucomatous eyes had higher mean vessel density on optic disc scans using Swept Source, with lack of statistically significant difference between healthy and glaucomatous eyes. The AUROC showed better diagnostic accuracy of AngioVue (0.761–1.000) compared to Swept Source (0.113–0.644). The test-retest reliability indices were generally better using AngioVue than Swept Source. Conclusions AngioVue showed better diagnostic capability and test-retest reliability compared to Swept Source. Further studies need to be undertaken to evaluate if there is any significant difference between the various machines in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma.

AimsTo compare the efficacy of diabetic retinal neovascularisation (NV) detection using the widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (WF SS-OCTA) vitreoretinal interface (VRI) Angio slab and SS-OCT VRI Structure slab.MethodsA prospective, observational study was performed at Massachusetts Eye and Ear from January 2019 to June 2020. Patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy and patients with diabetes but without diabetic retinopathy were included. All patients were imaged with WF SS-OCTA using the 12×12 mm Angio scan protocol centred on the fovea and optic disc. The en-face SS-OCTA VRI Angio slab and SS-OCT VRI Structure slab were evaluated for the presence or absence of NV. SS-OCTA B-scan was used to classify NV according to cross-sectional morphology (forward, tabletop or flat). All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS V.26.0.ResultsOne hundred and forty-two eyes of 89 participants were included in the study. VRI Angio detected NV at higher rates compared with VRI Structure (p<0.05). Combining VRI Angio and Structure improved detection rates compared with VRI Angio alone (p<0.05). Due to segmentation errors of the internal limiting membrane, NV with flat morphological classification had lower rates of detection on VRI Angio compared with NV with forward and tabletop morphology (p<0.05).ConclusionsWF SS-OCTA 12×12 mm VRI Angio and SS-OCT VRI Structure imaging centred on the fovea and optic disc detected NV with high sensitivity and low false positives. The VRI slab may be useful to diagnose and monitor PDR in clinical practice.

Purpose: To describe the findings of four patients (four eyes) with optic disc melanocytoma (ODM), using multimodal imaging. Methods: Retrospective case series. Results: On ocular ultrasonography ODMs appeared as hyperechogenic lesions with moderate-to-high internal reflectivity. On blue-light fundus autofluorescence, ODMs showed total hypoautofluorescence, while, on infrared reflectance images appeared as bright and well-marginated lesions. MultiColor composite images showed reddish-brown lesions with well-defined margins. Swept-source optical coherence tomography revealed elevated lesions covering the optic disc with an irregular hyperreflective surface, dishomogeneous internal structure with hyperreflective dots, and posterior shadowing. In all cases optical coherence tomography angiography detected intratumoral blood vessels which were not detectable with fluorescein angiography. Conclusion: Multimodal imaging in ODM might be useful both at presentation, increasing the diagnostic accuracy, and at follow-up, providing helpful details, that can help to rule out the possibility of malignant transformation and other ocular complications.

Purpose: To evaluate the radial peripapillary vascular plexus of a cavitary congenital optic disc anomaly in a young patient with recessive autosomal metaphyseal acroscyphodysplasia using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods: Observational case report. Results: A 17-year-old man, with diagnosis of metaphyseal acroscyphodysplasia was referred to Eye Clinic for fundus examination and multimodal imaging for retinal epithelium hypertrophy in the right eye. Clinical examination showed cup-shaped metaphyses, short stature, hyperthelorism, and telecanthus. An optic disc coloboma was detected in the right eye on fundus examination. Wide field en-face Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) showed a hyporeflective area corresponding to the right optic disc coloboma. At OCTA examination, the whole papillary region revealed a rarefaction of the vascular network, while the ganglion cell complex’s and retinal fiber layers’ parameters were normal in both eyes. Conclusion: The presence of coloboma disc congenital defect linked to embryological abnormalities during the development process could pave the way for a wider understanding of the pathogenesis of metaphyseal acroscyphodysplasia by increasingly framing it as a systemic disease.

Purpose: Investigate the effects of myopia and glaucoma in the prelaminar neural canal and anterior lamina cribrosa using 1060-nm swept-source optical coherence tomography Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional study Methods: - Setting: Clinical practice - Patient or study population: 19 controls (38 eyes); 38 glaucomatous subjects (63 eyes). Inclusion criteria for glaucomatous subjects: i) optic disc neural rim loss; ii) peripapillary nerve fibre layer (NFL) loss on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT); iii) glaucomatous visual field defect with an abnormal pattern standard deviation (P<.05); iv) stable SD-OCT, visual field, and optic disc clinical examination for 6 or more months. Inclusion criteria for control subjects: no evidence of retinal or optic nerve pathology. Exclusion criteria: i) retinal diseases or optic neuropathy other than primary open-angle glaucoma; ii) intraocular pressure ≤ 10 mmHg or ≥ 20 mmHg; iii) ocular media opacities; iv) any surgery-related complication deemed inappropriate for the study. - Intervention or observation procedures: Swept-source optical coherence tomography - Main Outcome Measure(s): Bruchs membrane opening (BMO) and anterior laminar insertion (ALI) dimension, prelaminar neural canal dimension, anterior lamina cribrosa surface (ALCS) depth Results: Glaucomatous eyes had more bowed and nasally rotated BMO and ALI, more horizontally skewed prelaminar neural canal, and deeper ALCS than the control eyes. Increased axial length was associated with a wider, longer, and more horizontally skewed neural canal, and decrease in the ALCS depth and curvature. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that glaucomatous posterior bowing or cupping of lamina cribrosa can be significantly confounded by the myopic expansion of the neural canal. This may be related to higher glaucoma risk associated with myopia from decreased compliance and increased susceptibility to IOP-related damage of LC being pulled taut.
