PURPOSE: Poor fixation or nystagmus in children causes misalignment errors when measuring circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) thickness by simultaneous scanning laser ophthalmoscope imaging/optical coherence tomography (SLO/OCT). We investigated a method to assess cpRNFL from misaligned SLO/OCT scans.
METHODS: Heidelberg Spectralis SLO/OCT scans from a single clinical examination were retrospectively analyzed when automated eye tracking was unreliable. Retinal layer thickness was measured at overlapping match locations between a reference and misaligned scans based on the position data from simultaneously acquired SLO images. Three layers were segmented: cpRNFL, internal limiting membrane to outer nuclear layer (ILM-ONL), and total retinal thickness (TR). Accuracy was defined as the difference in thickness between the reference and misaligned scans at their match locations after correction for scan angle.
RESULTS: Thirty-five subjects, evaluated for glaucomatous nerve loss, met inclusion criteria. Group-averaged accuracy was -2.7, 1.4, and 0.3 µm for cpRNFL, ILM-ONL, and TR thickness, respectively. Across all layers, interobserver intraclass correlation coefficients ranged from 0.97 to 0.63 and the maximum Bland-Altman 95% limits of agreement were -21.6 to 20.7 µm. Variability was greatest for cpRNFL thickness and least for TR thickness. Increased variability was associated with lower signal-to-noise ratio but not with image-motion indices of shear, rotation, and scale.
CONCLUSIONS: Retinal layer thickness can be compared to a reference cpRNFL OCT scan when poor fixation and nystagmus causes misalignment errors. The analysis can be performed post hoc using multiple misaligned scans from standard SLO/OCT protocols.
TRANSLATIONAL RELEVANCE: Our method allows for assessment of cpRNFL in children who fail eye tracking.
