Comparison of composite and segmental methods for acquiring optical axial length with swept-source optical coherence tomography
2020
Overview
This study compared the optical axial length (AL) obtained by composite and segmental methods using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) devices, and demonstrated its effects on the post-operative refractive errors (RE) one month after cataract surgery. Conventional AL measured with the composite method used the mean refractive index. The segmented-AL method used individual refractive indices for each ocular medium. The composite AL (24.52 ± 2.03 mm) was significantly longer (
P
< 0.001) than the segmented AL (24.49 ± 1.97 mm) among a total of 374 eyes of 374 patients. Bland–Altman analysis revealed a negative proportional bias for the differences between composite and segmented ALs. Although there was no significant difference in the RE obtained by the composite and segmental methods (0.42 ± 0.38 D vs 0.41 ± 0.36 D, respectively,
P
= 0.35), subgroup analysis of extremely long eyes implanted with a low power intraocular lens indicated that predicted RE was significantly smaller with the segmental method (0.45 ± 0.86 D) than that with the composite method (0.80 ± 0.86 D,
P
< 0.001). Segmented AL with SS-OCT is more accurate than composite AL in eyes with extremely long AL and can improve post-operative hyperopic shifts in such eyes.
