Current techniques in ophthalmology, such as PCI
(partial coherence interferometry), cannot accurately
measure the retinal shape because refraction causes
systematic errors for off-axis measurements. We assessed
these errors by measuring the left eye of 16 volunteers
using high-resolution ocular MRI, which is not
influenced by refraction, and PCI. The on-axis data
shows the high accuracy of ocular MRI (systematic error
0.08mm), while off-axis measurements show large
systematic differences between the techniques. This
shows the importance of MRI as the gold-standard for
three-dimensional retinal shape characterisation.
