The qualitative assessment of optical coherence tomography and the central retinal sensitivity in patients with retinitis pigmentosa.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To analyze the relationships between qualitative and quantitative parameters of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and the central retinal sensitivity in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). MATERIALS AND METHODS:Ninety-three eyes of 93 patients were finally enrolled, with a median age (quartile) of 58 (24.5) years. We assessed the patients using SD-OCT and the 10-2 program of a Humphry Field Analyzer (HFA). As a qualitative parameter, two graders independently classified the patients' SD-OCT images into five severity grades (grades 1-5) based on the severity of damage to the photoreceptor inner and outer segments (IS/OS) layer. As quantitative parameters, we measured the IS-ellipsoid zone (IS-EZ) width, IS/OS thickness, outer nuclear layer (ONL) thickness, c
