Anterior segment optical coherence tomography angiography in the assessment of ocular surface lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Describe the utility of anterior segment optical coherence tomography angiography (AS-OCTA) to assess ocular surface lesions.

Methods

Retrospective, case-control study of 10 eyes of 9 patients with malignant lesions and 23 eyes of 22 patients with benign lesions. Lesions included 13 epithelial, 10 pigmented and 10 lymphoid lesions. Graders performed an average of 3 depth and diameter measurements of peri-lesional vessels entering each lesion on AS-OCTA. Statistical models to assess differences between groups accounted for bilateral eye inclusion and lesion thickness (on AS-OCT). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) were performed for each parameter.

Results

In the benign and malignant groups, age was 49.5 ± 22.4 and 64.3
