After a basic eye examination, two methods of optical quality measurement, based on subjective and objective best focuses were performed using the Optical Quality Analysis System (OQAS) with an artificial pupil diameter of 4.0 mm.RESULTSWith each method, three consecutive measurements of the following parameters: the modulation transfer function cutoff frequency (MTF<sub>cutoff</sub>), the Strehl<sup>2D</sup> ratio, the OQAS values (OVs) at contrasts of 100%, 20%, 9% and the objective scatter index (OSI) were performed by an experienced examiner. The repeatability of each method was evaluated by the repeatability limit (RL) and the coefficient of repeatability (COR). Reproducibility of the two methods was evaluated by intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) and the 95% limits of agreement (Bland and Altman analysis). Thirty subjects, seven females and twenty three males, of whom 15 right eyes and 15 left eyes were selected randomly for recruitment in the study. The RLs (percentage) for the six parameters measured at objective focus and subjective focus ranged from 8.44% to 15.13% and 10.85% to 16.26%, respectively. The CORs for the two measurement methods ranged from 8.27% to 14.83% and 10.63% to 15.93%, respectively. With regard to reproducibility, the ICCs for the six parameters of OQAS ranged from 0.024 to 0.276. The 95% limits of agreement obtained for the six parameters (in comparison of the two methods) ranged from -0.57 to 42.18 (MTF<sub>cutoff</sub>), -0.01 to 0.23 (Strehl<sup>2D</sup> ratio), -0.02 to 1.40 (OV<sub>100%</sub>), -0.10 to 1.75 (OV<sub>20%</sub>), -0.14 to 1.80 (OV<sub>9%</sub>) and -1.46 to 0.18 (OSI).CONCLUSIONMeasurements provided by OQAS with either method showed a good repeatability.

Methods In this prospective cohort study, 40 eyes of 40 healthy volunteers underwent repeated OCTA（Cirrus HD-OCT 5000 angiography system, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc.） scans on two separate visit days. On each visit day, the eyes were scanned three times. The following parameters were used to quantitatively describe the OCTA images of the superficial vascular network： vessel area density（VAD）, vessel skeleton density（VSD）, vessel diameter index（VDI）, vessel perimeter index（VPI）, vessel complexity index（VCI）, flux, and foveal avascular zone（FAZ）. Coefficient of variation（CV） and intraclass correlation coefficient（ICC） were calculated for evaluating intravisit and intervisit repeatability, as well as interobserver reproducibility. Results The measurements showed high repeatability [CVs ≤ 4.2%（intravisit） and ≤ 4.6%（intervisit）] and interobserver reproducibility（ICCs ≥ 0.923） for all parameters. Conclusion This study demonstrated good repeatability and reproducibility of OCTA based on OMAG for the measurement of superficial vessel parameters in normal eyes.展开更多

But till now, no perfect system can directly measure it. The present study was to evaluate the accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility of direct sulcus diameter measurements obtained by a full-scale 50-megahertz （MHz） ultrasound biomicroscopy （UBM）. Methods A fresh cadaver human eye with a scale marker inserted through the posterior chamber plane from 3 o＇clock to 9 o＇clock meridian and 30 randomly selected eyes from 30 normal subjects were scanned by full-scale 50-MHz UBM in horizontal meridional scan plane. The distance between the scales and the whole length of the marker inside the cadaver eye were measured by the same observer using the ＂built-in＂ measurement tools and the indicating error of instrument was calculated. Reproducibility of the measurement was evaluated in 30 eyes by 2 operators using Blander and Altman plot test. Repeatability was evaluated from 10 successive eyes randomly selected from the 30 eyes by one operator. Results On a scale of 1 mm, the greatest indicating error was 40μm; the mean largest indicating error of 1 mm scale from the 10 images was （26_±14） μm; on a scale of 11 mm, the greatest indicating error was 70 μm; the error rate was 0.64%. The mean length of the needle inside the eye of the 10 images was 11.05 mm, with the mean indicating error of 47 μm, the average error rate was 0.43%. For ciliary sulcus diameter measurements in vivo, the coefficient of variation was 0.38%; the coefficients of repeatability for intra-observer and inter-observer measurements were 1.99% and 2.55%, respectively. The limits of agreement for intra-observer and inter-observer measurement were -0.41 mm to 0.48 mm and -0.59 mm to 0.58 mm, respectively. Conclusion The full-scale 50-MHz UBM can be a high accuracy and good repeatability means for direct measuring the ciliary sulcus d展开更多
