Microscope-integrated Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography for Anterior Segment Surgical Maneuvers.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the potential value of microscope-integrated optical coherence tomography (MI-OCT) in anterior segment surgical maneuvers.

Methods

Twenty-four ophthalmology residents, who were randomly and evenly divided into two groups, performed four anterior segment surgical maneuvers (corneal tunnel, scleral tunnel, simple corneal suture, and corneal laceration repair) on porcine eyes with (group B) or without (group A) real-time MI-OCT feedback. All residents performed the maneuvers again without MI-OCT.

Results

Compared with group A, group B (with MI-OCT) showed better accuracy in the length/depth of the corneal tunnel and the length of the scleral tunnel. However, both groups showed similar performances in the depth of both the simple corneal suture and the
