To investigate the morphological substrate of the changes in visual function in eyes with retinitis pigmentosa and good visual acuity using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
A total of 30 eyes of 17 patients with retinitis pigmentosa and visual acuity of 20/40 or better underwent contrast sensitivity and color vision testing. The retinal thickness at the fovea and macula and the length of the photoreceptor inner/outer segment (IS/OS) junction were assessed by SD-OCT. Structural-functional correlations were investigated.
Contrast sensitivity correlated well with IS/OS length (Spearman r = 0.719, P < .001) and foveal thickness (r = 0.672, P < .001) and moderately with macular thickness (r = 0.422, P = .025). Moreover, color vision correlated significantly with IS/OS length (r = -0.725, P < .001) and foveal thickness (r = -0.661, P < .001).
In eyes with retinitis pigmentosa and good visual acuity, the structural changes observed on OCT scans correspond well to subtle measures of central visual function, complementary to visual acuity testing.
使用光谱域光学相干断层扫描(SD - OCT)研究视力良好的视网膜色素变性患者眼部视觉功能变化的形态学基础。
17例视网膜色素变性患者的30只眼,视力为20/40或更好,接受了对比敏感度和色觉测试。通过SD - OCT评估黄斑中心凹和黄斑处的视网膜厚度以及光感受器内/外节(IS/OS)连接的长度。研究结构与功能的相关性。
对比敏感度与IS/OS长度(Spearman r = 0.719,P <.001)和黄斑中心凹厚度(r = 0.672,P <.001)相关性良好,与黄斑厚度中度相关(r = 0.422,P =.025)。此外,色觉与IS/OS长度(r = -0.725,P <.001)和黄斑中心凹厚度(r = -0.661,P <.001)显著相关。
在视力良好的视网膜色素变性患者眼中,OCT扫描观察到的结构变化与中心视觉功能的细微测量结果高度相符,是视力测试的补充。
