Reproducibility of Macular Thickness Measurements in Eyes Affected by Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration From Two Different SD-OCT Instruments

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive technique for capturing cross-sectional, high-resolution images of the retina in normal and pathologic eyes.1 –3 In clinical practice, it has been used mainly for retinal qualitative evaluation, such as visualization of subretinal fluid,4 macular edema,5 epiretinal membranes,6 photoreceptor layer disruption,7 macular holes,8 and choroidal neovascularization.9 OCT provides an evaluation of retinal thicknes s over time with a high level of reliability and reproducibility.10,11Advances in OCT technology have facilitated the introduction of
