AB  - BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study was to evaluate vitreoretinal interface 
      (VRI) alteration with a short-wavelength scanning laser ophthalmoscope (swSLO), 
      the Nidek F-10, and compare the results with those obtained by means of 
      spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). METHODS: Thirty-six eyes 
      were studied (20 patients, mean age 68 +/- 12.3 years). All patients underwent a 
      complete ophthalmologic examination, which comprised SD-OCT and Nidek F-10 
      analysis with short-wavelength blue laser. Eyes were divided into four groups 
      depending on the degree of VRI alteration observed with the swSLO and SD-OCT. 
      Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. P values less than 
      0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS: OCT ANALYSIS: eight eyes 
      (22%) grade 0 (no abnormalities), 15 eyes (42%) grade 1 (preretinal cellophane); 
      seven (19%) grade 2 (preretinal wrinkling); six (17%) grade 3 (macular pucker or 
      hole). Nidek F-10 analysis: seven (19%) grade 0, 16 (45%) grade 1; seven (19%) 
      grade 2; six (17%) grade 3. Chi-square = 0.099, P = 0.992. There was no 
      statistically significant difference between the two instruments. CONCLUSION: 
      Nidek F-10 allows both a quantitative and a qualitative evaluation of VRI and is 
      equal to SD-OCT in detecting alteration of the inner portion of the retina, 
      providing an easy way to evaluate and map differences in the inner vitreoretinal 
      surface.
