AB  - BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To investigate the performance of an automated foveal 
      center detection algorithm on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography 
      (SD-OCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty normal eyes and 50 eyes with early stage 
      dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) were analyzed. The actual scan center 
      (SC), automatically detected foveal center (AF), and manually identified foveal 
      center (MF) were compared. RESULTS: The mean of the radial distances was 89 +/- 120 
      mum from MF to SC and 54 +/- 41 mum from MF to AF for normal eyes and 179 +/- 125 mum 
      from SC to MF and 104 +/- 62 mum from AF to MF for eyes with AMD. The differences 
      were statistically significant (P < .001). CONCLUSION: The automated algorithm 
      designed to detect the foveal center was more accurate in detecting the foveal 
      center than relying on the fixation target of the SD-OCT instrument.
