Reproducibility of retinal oxygen saturation in normal and treated glaucomatous eyes.

IOP & Medical TherapyVisual Field

Summary

Retinal oximetry measurements using SRO are highly reproducible in both treated glaucomatous and normal eyes.

Abstract

AIM

To measure the reproducibility of retinal oxygen saturation (SaO2) levels among treated glaucomatous eyes and normal controls in a prospective non-randomised study.

METHODS

Patients with perimetric glaucoma (PG) and normal controls were included. Exclusion criteria for both groups included visual acuity 0.05). In the PG group, the a.SaO2 had a CoV of 1.6%, a CoR of 4.7 and an ICC of 0.97; the v.SaO2 had a CoV of 5.9%, a CoR of 8.7 and an ICC of 0.96. In normals, the a.SaO2 had a CoV of 0.98%, a CoR of 3.3 and an ICC of 0.97; the v.SaO2 had a CoV of 4.8%, a CoR of 7.7 and an ICC of 0.93.

CONCLUSIONS

Retinal oximetry measurements using SRO are highly reproducible in both treated glaucomatous and normal eyes.
