Preoperative spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in patients having cataract surgery

Abstract

Preoperative SD-OCT scanning was significantly more effective in detecting anomalies in patients having cataract surgery than fundus examination. Older age and CNVA worse than Parinaud 2 were associated with higher rates of abnormal macular SD-OCT. Older age and a history of glaucoma were associated with higher abnormal retinal nerve fiber layer anomaly rates.
