Prior to Scanning |
Optimise scan quality by dilating pupils as needed, measuring corneal curvature and refraction |
Acquisition |
To visualize deeper structures, use EDI mode, then type in corneal curvature and refraction in the operator system |
Dense optic nerve head (ONH) scan |
To identify ODD, select EDI mode and high-resolution acquisition, centre a scan area of 15 × 10 degrees covering the entire optic disc area, scan with 97 sections in that area (30 μm between scans), average at least 30 frames, and perform the volume scan in horizontal (axial) direction only |
Radial ONH scan |
Assess scleral canal size by using EDI mode, select 20-degree 6-line radial scan, and centre scan at optic disc |
Peripapillary scan |
Evaluate RNFL thickness by deselecting EDI mode, select 12-degree peripapillary scan, and centre scan at optic disc |
Macular scan |
To exclude macular pathology, deselect EDI mode, centre scan area of 20 × 20 degrees over macula, scan with at least 25 sections (240 μm between scans), and average at least 9 frames |
Autofluorescence |
To identify autofluorescence, centre scan at optic disc, and average 100 frames |
