Repeatability of Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Measurements in High Myopia.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the repeatability of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) parameters in high-myopic and emmetropic healthy subjects, and to evaluate the influence of axial length on the repeatability of SDOCT parameters in high myopia.

Methods: In a prospective study, 93 eyes of 63 high-myopic subjects (spherical refractive error, -6 to -12 D; median age, 25 y) and 28 eyes of 14 emmetropic (spherical refractive error, 0 D; median age, 30 y) subjects underwent optic nerve head, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and ganglion cell complex imaging with SDOCT. For the repeatability analysis, 31 eyes of 31 high-myopic subjects and 14 eyes of 14 emmetropic subjects underwent 3 repeated scans in the same session.
