Brief Summary

Results:Forty-three subjects (mean age 30.5 years) were enrolled. Of 43 the eyes, SCT of 39 eyes (90.7%) could be measured using each machine. Intra-class correlation coefficients (95% confident interval) were 0.976 (0.954-9.987), 0.958 (0.919-0.978) and 0.939 (0.895-0.971) with Spectralis, Cirrus, and Topcon respectively. Inter-rater correlation coefficients (95% confident interval) were 0.944 (0.893 to 0.971), 0.956 (0.831 to 0.983) and 0.924 (0.825 to 0.964) with Spectralis, Cirrus, and Topcon respectively. The average SCT was 272.6, 272.8, and 269.2 µm with Spectralis, Cirrus, and Topcon, respectively. Inter-machine correlation coefficient was significantly high among the machines (P<0.001, Spearman); 0.97 (Spectralis-Cirrus), 0.96 (Cirrus-Topcon) and 0.98 (Topcon-Cirrus). Bland-Altman plot analysis showed no typical trend among the machines.Conclusions:SCT measurements obtained with 3 different SD-OCTs were highly correlated and could be used interchangeably.
