Abstract
This study aims to correlate adaptive optics-transscleral flood illumination (AO-TFI) images of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) with standard clinical images and compare cell morphological features with those of healthy eyes. After stitching 125 AO-TFI images acquired in CSCR eyes (including 6 active CSCR, 15 resolved CSCR, and 3 from healthy contralateral), 24 montages were correlated with blue-autofluorescence, infrared and optical coherence tomography images. All 68 AO-TFI images acquired in pathological areas exhibited significant RPE contrast changes. Among the 52 healthy areas in clinical images, AO-TFI revealed a normal RPE mosaic in 62% of the images and an altered RPE pattern in 38% of the images. Morphological features of the RPE cells were quantified in 54 AO-TFI images depicting clinically normal areas (from 12 CSCR eyes). Comparison with data from 149 AO-TFI images acquired in 33 healthy eyes revealed significantly increased morphological heterogeneity. In CSCR, AO-TFI not only enabled high-resolution imaging of outer retinal alterations, but also revealed RPE abnormalities undetectable by all other imaging modalities. Further studies are required to estimate the prognosis value of these abnormalities. Imaging of the RPE using AO-TFI holds great promise for improving our understanding of the CSCR pathogenesis.
