Peripheral OCT Assisted by Scleral Depression in Retinopathy of Prematurity.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine whether handheld widefield optical coherence tomography (OCT) can be used to document retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) stage while using scleral depression to improve peripheral views.

Design

Prospective observational study.

Participants

Consecutive neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in a single academic medical center who also met criteria for ROP screening and consented for research imaging.

Methods

Scleral depression was combined with widefield OCT using an investigational 400-kHz, 55-degree field of view handheld OCT during routine ROP screening from October 28, 2020 to March 03, 2021.

Main outcome measures

Acquisition of en face and B-scan imaging of the peripheral retina to objectively assess
