NOVEL METHOD FOR VISUALIZING PERIPHERAL RETINAL STRUCTURES WITH MICROSCOPE-INTEGRATED OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Visualization of peripheral retinal structures with optical coherence tomography (OCT) can be challenging but can offer valuable clinical information. We describe a method for intraoperative OCT of the peripheral retina. METHODS: An investigational microscope-integrated OCT system with real-time 4D volumetric imaging was used in conjunction with a Goldmann style mirrored contact lens intraoperatively to capture peripheral images in three patients. RESULTS: We identified retinoschisis, a retinal break, and areas of focal retinal detachment using our peripheral OCT method. CONCLUSION: Use of a Goldmann lens in conjunction with intraoperative OCT offers surgeons the ability to resolve peripheral pathology that cannot be easily evaluated with OCT otherwise.
