Abstract
PURPOSE
To compare the efficacy of time domain (TD) and spectral domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) in determining vitreomacular interface (VMI). METHODS: VMIs were evaluated with TD and SD OCT images crossing the fovea horizontally in 69 eyes (mean age 52.7 +/- 15.4 years) and were classified as follows: (1) no vitreomacular separation (VMS), (2) incomplete VMS, and (3) unknown. RESULTS: In TD OCT, no VMS was observed in 2 eyes (2.9%), incomplete VMS in 2 eyes (2.9%), and unknown in 65 eyes (94.2%). In SD OCT, no VMS was observed in 31 eyes (45.0%), incomplete VMS in 13 eyes (18.8%), and unknown in 25 eyes (36.2%). In 31 eyes with no VMS on SD OCT, 29 eyes (93.5%) presented unknown on TD OCT (p<0.0001). In 13 eyes with incomplete VMS on SD OCT, 2 eyes (15.4%) showed incomplete VMS and 11 eyes (84.6%) showed unknown on TD OCT (p<0.0001). TD OCT was also non-informative in all 25 eyes with unknown on SD OCT. CONCLUSIONS: SD OCT allows better visualization of VMI than TD OCT, especially in patients with no VMS.
