Using the c-curve in Spectralis OCT imaging https://www.opsweb.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1098600 Thu, 4 Jun 2026 01:16:15 GMT Fri, 29 Jan 2016 18:06:16 GMT Copyright © 2016 Ophthalmic Photographers' Society Using the c-curve in Spectralis OCT imaging https://www.opsweb.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1098600 https://www.opsweb.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1098600 Hello OPS!

 

Can anyone shed light on the utilization of entering the c-curve on routine Spectralis OCT patients? 

 

Someone from the UK is asking how often this is done in the US.

 

I don’t remember ever entering that information as part of a clinical trial protocol, (although I have read that it will be a routine portion of upcoming clinical trials), and we don’t do it routinely on our clinic patients.  Our retina patients don’t necessarily see our cornea specialists, and keratometry is not part of our routine retina workup.

 

Thanks in advance for your responses!

I agree and think it will be included in some future studies. I think it is for consistent measurements between patients.

With that being said, our practice just keeps everything at the defaults, partly I think is that way we're keeping things consistent from one visit to another and if there's a change from one visit to another when all those numbers are consistent then you're more able to objectively say that there's been a change. If one day you used the defaults and another day used the actual eye measurements then you may run into issues of inconsistency. ]]> Mon, 27 Jul 2015 15:21:52 GMT https://www.opsweb.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1167349 https://www.opsweb.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1167349 Our seasoned photographers and myself had this same question once we got an update for the HEX program. We Keep ours at defaults: Retina specialists only here with no K readings necessary for workup. I would be interested in how much of a difference it would make in the RNFL readings though!

Glad to hear is isn't throwing off retina P. Pole map measurements!

Paula mentioned that it will be inclusive to clinical trials in the future, What are the trials for?
