IDENTIFICATION OF INCREASED BLUE LIGHT REFLECTIVITY IN MACULAR TELANGIECTASIA TYPE 2 USING SCANNING LASER OPHTHALMOSCOPY VERSUS RED-FREE FUNDUS PHOTOGRAPHY.
Retinal Cases & Brief Reports 2017 Februrary 11
PURPOSE: To compare two modalities used for detection of the characteristic parafoveal hyperreflective area seen in macular telangiectasia Type 2.
METHODS: Scanning laser ophthalmoscope blue light reflectance was compared with red-free fundus photography imaging. Images were obtained as part of the international Natural History Study of Macular Telangiectasia (MacTel Study).
RESULTS: The hyperreflective area can more frequently be seen with scanning laser ophthalmoscope blue light reflectance than with red-free imaging.
CONCLUSION: Detection of the hyperreflective area might help to identify macular telangiectasia in earlier disease stages. Scanning laser ophthalmoscope blue light reflectance should be preferred as a diagnostic tool when the suspicion of macular telangiectasia arises. However, red-free imaging offers a viable option to scanning laser ophthalmoscope blue light reflectance when good quality is achieved.
