Comparative analysis of two retinal fractures with ultrabroad‑angle fundus photography systems

The aim of the present study was to compare the performance of the Opel Panorama 200 and Zeiss Clarus 500 (Carl Zeiss AG) systems in diagnosing retinal fractures. Human subjects were selected from 298 fundus examinations (531 eyes) in ophthalmology from February 2021 to June 2021, including 68 patients with retinal fissures (95 eyes). All fundus tests were performed with Opel Panoramic 200. Zeiss Clarus 500 (Carl Zeiss AG) fundus photography, slit-lamp full retinal lens (Ocular Mainster Wide Field; Ocular Instruments), and retinal laser photocoagulation was performed for all affected eyes. The diagnostic sensitivity of the two examination methods was compared, and their sensitivities for posterior retina, peripheral nose, crystal eye, cataract, positive experiment, and myopia testing were compared. In all, 68 patients (95 eyes) were clinically examined and treated 112 laser times. For retinal fractures, the Opel Panorama 200 used a check sensitivity of 89.5%, and the Clarus 500 check had a sensitivity of 94.7%, with the difference being non-significant (P=0.358). Moreover, Clarus 500 diagnosed the sensitivity of the temporal periphery significantly higher than that of Opel Panorama 200 (P=0.048). Opel Panorama 200 displayed statistically significant sensitivity compared with Clarus 500 diagnosis with crystalline and crystal fewer eyes (P>0.05); Clarus 500 sensitivity for cataract diagnosis (crystal turbidity level 3 and above) was significantly higher than that of Opel Panorama 200 (P=0.033). Opel Panoramic 200 displayed significant sensitivity to ocular myopia and medium to moderate myopia (P>0.05). Clarus 500 diagnosed high myopia with a significantly higher sensitivity than Opel Panorama 200 (P=0.045). Opel Panorama 200 and Zeiss Clarus 500 displayed the same level of sensitivity to retinal fissures, with improved sensitivity in refractive turbidity and for retinal fissures located in the far periphery of the temporal side.
