Frequency, Type and Cause of Artifacts in Swept-Source and Cirrus HD Optical Coherence Tomography in Cases of Glaucoma and Suspected Glaucoma

Abstract

There was no significant difference in the frequency, type and cause of artifacts between SS OCT and Cirrus HD OCT. Artifacts in OCT can influence the interpretation of OCT results. In particular, ERM around the optic disc could contribute to OCT artifacts and should be considered in glaucoma diagnosis or during patient follow-up using OCT.
