Abstract
PURPOSE
To evaluate the effects of retinal angiography, using fluorescein and indocyanine green dyes, on optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements.
METHODS
In total, 76 eyes from 76 consecutive patients were included. Macular cube 512 × 128 combination scanning and optic disc 200 × 200 scanning using spectral-domain (SD)-OCT were performed twice, before and after retinal angiography, with fluorescein or indocyanine green. Signal strength, regional retinal thickness of the 9 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study subfields, total macular volume, and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness obtained before and after angiography were compared. Repeatability was also investigated.
RESULTS
Comparing the results of OCT measured before and after retinal angiography, there was no statistically significant difference in any parameter assessed. The interclass correlation values for each measurement were all >0.808 (range 0.808-0.999).
CONCLUSION
Retinal angiography using fluorescein and indocyanine green dyes has no significant effect on OCT measurements.
