Self-Examination Low-Cost Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (SELFF-OCT) for neovascular age-related macular degeneration: a cross-sectional diagnostic accuracy study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Self-Examination Low-Cost Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (SELFF-OCT) is a novel OCT technology that was specifically designed for home monitoring of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). First clinical findings have been reported before. This trial investigates an improved prototype for patients with AMD and focusses on device operability and diagnostic accuracy compared with established spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT).

Design

Prospective single-arm diagnostic accuracy study.

Setting

Tertiary care centre (University Eye Clinic).

Participants

46 patients with age-related macular degeneration.

Interventions

Patients received short training in device handling and then performed multiple self-scans with the SELFF-OCT according
