Ultra-Widefield Optical Coherence Tomography Beyond the Ora Serrata in Retinopathy of Prematurity.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Capturing high-quality images of the entire peripheral retina while minimizing the use of scleral depression could increase the quality of examinations for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) while reducing neonatal stress.

Objective

To evaluate whether an investigational handheld ultra-widefield optical coherence tomography (UWF-OCT) device without scleral depression can be used to document high-quality images of the peripheral retina for use in ROP examinations.

Design, setting, and participants

This was a prospective, cross-sectional study in the neonatal intensive care unit at a single academic medical center. Study participants were neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit who met standard ROP screening criteria (birth weight ≤1500 g; gestational age
