BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the repeatability of retinal thickness and vascular density measurements using split-spectrum amplitude-decorrelation angiography (SSADA) with optical coherence tomography (OCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty patients were divided into seven categories according to their diagnosis: no retinopathy (control), retinal vein occlusion, diabetes with no retinopathy, diabetes with retinopathy, non-exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD), exudative AMD, and epiretinal membrane. Capillary density and retinal thickness measurements were taken and evaluated for reliability by determination of statistically significant differences and coefficient of variability (CoV) between measurements. RESULTS: No significant differences (P > .05) were found in any of the within-visit measurements. CoVs ranged from 0.26% to 52.76%, depending on the measure and the disease settings. CONCLUSION: The SSADA OCT angiography analysis has a low level of variability between measurements and, thus, is a reliable tool for evaluation of retinal perfusion.
