Purpose TOPCON 3D OCT 1000 is a spectral domain OCT, used in our everyday’s practice. There are many studies reporting reproducibility of commercially available time domain OCTs. The reproducibility of spectral domain OCTs is expected to be better. To our knowledge there are no reproducibility studies with TOPCON 3D OCT 1000. Our purpose was to evaluate its reproducibility in normal and diabetic patients. Methods 10 normal maculae and 10 maculae with diabetic edema were scanned for 5 times. Data presented as retinal thickness and retinal volume were analyzed and statistically evaluated. Results TOPCON 3D OCT 1000 shows excellent reproducibility in normal patients. Differences in measured parameters in patients with diabetic macular edema are not statistically significant. Conclusion Retinal thickness and retinal volume measurements with TOPCON 3D OCT 1000 are very reliable, although care must be taken in interpreting small differences in pathologic conditions.
