Rein AP, Abulafia A, Zadok D, et al. - In patients scheduled for cataract surgery, researchers sought to evaluate the additive value of foveal swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) based biometry to the preoperative fundus examinations for diagnosing macular abnormalities. Patients 50 years of age and older from one institution who were scheduled for cataract surgery were enrolled retrospectively. Although combined fundus biomicroscopy and foveal SS-OCT scans improved detection of macular abnormalities prior to cataract surgery, they were inferior to macular SD-OCT scans. Additional studies to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of adding foveal SS-OCT scan in comparison to macular SD-OCT scan to the pre-operative cataract evaluation are needed.
