QUANTITATIVE TOPOGRAPHIC CURVATURE MAPS OF THE POSTERIOR EYE UTILIZING OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY.

Purpose: Deformations of the retina such as staphylomas in myopia or scleral flattening in high intracranial pressure can be challenging to quantify with en face imaging. We describe an optical coherence tomography-based method for the generation of quantitative posterior eye topography maps in normal and pathologic eyes.

Methods: Using "whole eye" optical coherence tomography, we corrected for subjects' optical distortions to generate spatially accurate posterior eye optical coherence tomography volumes and created local curvature (KM, mm-1) topography maps for each consented subject.

Intraoperative aberrometry vs modern preoperative formulas in predicting intraocular lens power.

Purpose: To compare the outcomes of an intraoperative aberrometer (ORA) to the Barrett Universal II (Barrett II) and Hill-RBF 2.0 (Hill-RBF) intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas.

Setting: Duke University Eye Center, Durham, North Carolina, USA.

Wide-field whole eye OCT system with demonstration of quantitative retinal curvature estimation.

Current conventional clinical OCT systems image either only the anterior or the posterior eye during a single acquisition. This localized imaging limits conventional OCT's use for characterizing global ocular morphometry and biometry, which requires knowledge of spatial relationships across the entire eye. We developed a "whole eye" optical coherence tomography system that simultaneously acquires volumes with a wide field-of-view for both the anterior chamber (14 x 14 mm) and retina (55°) using a single source and detector.
