Abstract

Study Design: Observational Cross-Sectional Study
Purpose: To describe the features of peripheral retinal degenerations using an Ultra-Widefield (UWF) Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography (SS-OCT).
Method: Peripheral retinal degenerations such as lattices, snail track lesion, paving stone and other suspicious lesions were identified with clinical examination, following which they underwent UWF OCT.
Results: 100 eyes with 14 peripheral lesions like lattices (31%), snail track lesions (10.4%), peripheral retinoschisis (7.5%), doubtful lesions (13.2%), etc were identified. It significantly helped in improving diagnostic capability with early identification of specific structural features such as vitreoretinal attachment and traction, full-thickness hole or tear, and sub-retinal fluid (not so evident on indirect ophthalmoscopy).
Conclusion: UWF-OCT deepens our understanding, allowing early recognition of vision-threatening lesions that may influence clinical management.
