Abstract
- PurposeTo compare mydriatic and eye-steering ultrawide field imaging (UWFI) with standard non-mydriatic UWFI examination in detecting peripheral retinal lesions in myopic patients.MethodsCross-sectional, observational study. 220 eyes of 110 myopic patients with known peripheral retinal lesions in at least one eye under Goldmann three mirror contact lens examination were recruited. Non-mydriatic standard and eye-steering UWFI images were taken centrally and with eye-steering technique in upper, lower, nasal and temporal gazes under Optomap UWFI (Daytona, Optos, UK). Mydriatic standard and eye-steering UWFI was captured in central gaze and four different peripheral gazes. Sensitivity of detecting peripheral retinal lesions under different UWFI settings was compared.Results141 (64.09%) eyes were with peripheral retinal lesions. The sensitivity for detecting peripheral lesions from low to high was 41.84% (95% CI 33.62% to 50.54%) under non-mydriatic standard UWFI setting, 52.48% (95% CI 44.08% to 60.75%) under mydriatic standard setting, 75.18% (95% CI 67.21% to 82.06%) under non-mydriatic eye-steering setting and 86.52% (95% CI 79.76% to 91.69%) under mydriatic eye-steering setting. Both mydriasis and eye-steering technique increased sensitivity of detecting peripheral lesions with statistical significance (p<0.001). By applying eye-steering technique, sensitivity of detecting lesions located in superior and inferior quadrants witnessed a greater increase compared with other two quadrants (p<0.05). Neither spherical equivalence (p>0.05) nor axial length (p>0.05) was an independent influence factor for detecting peripheral lesions.ConclusionsEye-steering technique and mydriasis could both efficiently improve the sensitivity of detecting peripheral retinal lesions in myopic patients. Lesions of superior and inferior quadrants benefited more from eye-steering technique.
