PURPOSE: To assess reliability and reproducibility of different analysis methods for retinal capillary flow, volume, and velocity from scanning laser Doppler flowmetry (SLDF) topography. MATERIAL AND METHODS: SLDF topography analysis using the default retinal flowmeter (HRF) were compared to that using automatic full-field perfusion image analyzer (AFFPIA) and quantified as intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). RESULTS: The AFFPIA full-field method had the highest reliability, with ICC 0.99 for capillary flow. The reproducibility using the AFFPIA full-field method was high ICC 0.74 for capillary flow. CONCLUSIONS: The AFFPIA full-field method is highly reliable and superior to the default HRF software.
