Purpose: To analyze submacular perforating scleral vessels (PSVs) using enhanced depth imaging spectral domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-SDOCT).Methods: Twenty-two eyes of 11 healthy women were included in this retrospective study. Central EDI-SDOCT scans (3 x 4.5 x 1.9 mm, 13.5 mm(2) scan area) were acquired and postprocessed by denoising, manual sclera segmentation, and PSV investigated by five graders.Results: Mean age was 22.4 +/- 6.2 years. Mean refractive error was -0.44 +/- 0.8 diopters. Mean axial length was 23.08 +/- 0.63 mm. The coefficient of agreement for grading was good. Mean number of submacular PSVs was 0.33 +/- 0.2 per mm(2) (range from 0 to 9 per eye). Subfield analysis showed 0.2 +/- 0.5 (range 0-2) and 2.1 +/- 1.8 (range 0-7) vessels, respectively, for central 1-mm diameter and 3-mm diameter. Quadrant analysis showed 0.7 +/- 0.9, 0.5 +/- 0.9, 0.3 +/- 0.6, and 0.4 +/- 0.6 vessels, respectively for superior, inferior, nasal, and temporal quadrants. Total number of PSV showed no significant side difference (median difference 0.5, confidence interval -3.0 to 3.0, P = 0.94) or an influence of axial length (P = 0.16).Conclusion: This is the first description of three-dimensional EDI-SDOCT visualization of submacular PSV in healthy eyes. This method allows for in vivo imaging of a critical component of outer retinal perfusion at the posterior pole.
