Radial scans (6 mm) were compared between Stratus and Topcon OCT, in addition to raster scans of three SDOCT devices (Topcon, Spectralis, Cirrus). Retinal thickness values were generally higher in SD-OCT analysis. Spectralis SD-OCT demonstrated the highest values of central retinal thickness and Topcon OCT raster scans showed the lowest values. The authors conclude that further development of current algorithms is necessary to improve quantification of retinal thickness.See pages 1453González et al compared the efficacy of intravitreal pegaptanib (IVP) with panretinal laser photocoagulation (PRP) in the treatment of active proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in a prospective, randomised, controlled, open label study. Twenty subjects with active PDR were randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to receive treatment in … ER -
