Reproducibility of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Measurements Using the Eye Tracker and the Retest Function of Spectralis SD-OCT in Glaucomatous and Healthy Control Eyes

Abstract

The reproducibility of RNFL measurements with Spectralis SD-OCT is excellent in both normal and glaucomatous eyes and can be significantly improved by using the eye tracker and retest software. The gain of reproducibility by using the software is significantly higher in glaucomatous eyes than in normal eyes. These findings suggest that software applications are capable of significantly improving the reproducibility of RNFL thickness measurements.
