Inter and intradevice assessment of microperimetry testing in aging eyes

Abstract Microperimetry (MP) is a psychometric examination combining retinal imaging and functional sensitivity testing with an increasing importance due to its potential use as clinical study outcome. We investigated the repeatability of pointwise retinal sensitivity (PWS) on the most advanced comm...

description Abstract Microperimetry (MP) is a psychometric examination combining retinal imaging and functional sensitivity testing with an increasing importance due to its potential use as clinical study outcome. We investigated the repeatability of pointwise retinal sensitivity (PWS) on the most advanced commercially available MP devices under their standard setting in a healthy aging population. Two successive MP examinations on both MP-3 (NIDEK CO., Ltd., Gamagori, Japan) and MAIA (CenterVue S.p.A. (iCare), Padova, Italy) were performed on healthy aging subjects in a randomized order. PWS repeatability was analysed for different macular regions and age groups using Bland-Altmann coefficients of repeatability (CoR). A total of 3600 stimuli from 20 healthy individuals with a mean age of 70 (11) years were included. Mean CoR in dB were ±4.61 for MAIA and ±4.55 for MP-3 examinations. A lower repeatability (p=0.005) was detected in the central millimetre on MAIA examinations. Higher subject age was associated with a lower repeatability of PWS on both devices (both p=0.003). Intra-device correlation was good (MAIA: 0.79 [0.76–0.81]; MP-3: 0.72 [0.68–0.76]) whereas a moderate mean inter-device correlation (0.6 [0.55–0.65]) could be detected. In conclusion, older subjects and the foveal region are associated with a worse pointwise repeatability.
