Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography of the Horizontal and Vertical Extraocular Muscles With Measurement of the Insertion to Limbus Distance

Abstract

The study showed that AS-OCT is capable of imaging all four of the rectus muscle insertions and measuring the insertion to limbus distance, and is the second AS-OCT study to image the superior and inferior rectus muscle insertions. The insertion to limbus measurements between examiners and on repeat measurements were consistent and reproducible. The ability to accurately image extraocular rectus muscle insertions may have future implications for the preoperative procedure planning in patients who have had previous surgery.

Clinical Role of Swept Source Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography in Strabismus Re-Operation with Lost Surgical Details

“…The existing literature of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) for extra ocular muscle imaging supports the claim that we can reasonably identify the anatomical location of any recti muscle. [7][8][9][10][11] This study adds a more important role for ASOCT in strabismus where in operated eyes we can use it as a scavenging tool for surgical planning.…”

Four-dimensional Microscope-Integrated Optical Coherence Tomography to Visualize Suture Depth in Strabismus Surgery

“…Recent studies have used OCT to detect rectus muscle insertions, but our report is, to our knowledge, the first to demonstrate intraoperative OCT for strabismus surgery. 7,8 …”

Shape analysis of rectus extraocular muscles with age and axial length using anterior segment optical coherence tomography

“…Recent advances in anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) have made it possible to visualize not only the cornea, anterior chamber, and iris but also the extraocular muscles (EOMs) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. However, these reports only involved the evaluation of tomographic images of the EOMs, and most of them were related to muscle insertion.…”
