Macular disease detection with a swept-source optical coherence tomography-based biometry device in patients scheduled for cataract surgery

Purpose To assess the sensitivity and specificity for detecting macular disease with a new optical biometry device with swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) used before cataract surgery. Setting Hanusch Hospital, Vienna, Austria. Design Consecutive case series. Methods This study included patients with or without macular disease. All patients were scanned using the new biometry device (IOLMaster 700), which allows a 1.0 mm central retinal scan using SS-OCT technology. Also, all eyes were assessed using a dedicated retinal OCT device (RTVue) on the same day. Two experienced examiners and 1 ophthalmology resident graded all scans individually. Sensitivity and specificity for ...
