  To investigate changes in retinal vessel density in optic nerve head (ONH) and macula after acute intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation, we conducted a prospective observational study. Eyes with IOP rise ≥5 mmHg after 2-hour dark room prone provocative test (DRPPT) were included. Vasculature of ONH and macula was examined by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) at baseline and after DRPPT. Among the 65 eyes of 42 individuals, 40 eyes with qualified images were enrolled. Mean IOP rise was 9.6 ± 4.2 mmHg (5.0–23.3 mmHg) after DRPPT.

18. Cotton-Wool Spot and Optical Coherence Tomography of a Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Defect
  
  Explore JAMA Network Jul 12 2012 Ophthalmology
  
  A 53-year-old woman with severe arterial hypertension was concerned about flashes and a shadow in her left eye. Perimetry revealed an arc-shaped visual field defect in the superior hemisphere. Ophthalmoscopy showed a large cotton-wool spot inferior of the optic disc (Figure 1, above). Optical coherence tomography showed an edema of the retinal nerve fiber layer in the area of the cotton-wool spot. One year later, perimetry was unchanged. On ophthalmoscopy, an inferior wedge-shaped defect of the retinal nerve fiber layer was detected (Figure 2A, right, white arrows), while the cotton-wool spot completely vanished. Optical coherence tomography revealed a marked reduction ...

20. Measurement of Normal Optic Nerve Head Parameters
  
  Explore Survey of Ophthalmology Jun 21 2012 Ophthalmology
  
  Abstract: All optic nerve pathologies, including the glaucomas and disorders such as non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy, affect the appearance of the optic nerve head. Morphological examination of the optic nerve head in a qualitative and quantitative manner is therefore clinically mandatory. With the advent of modern imaging modalities such as confocal scanning laser tomography and optical coherence tomography, new diagnostic avenues have opened up to further refine the examination. The new imaging devices are now becoming a major adjunct to the diagnosis and long-term management of optic nerve head pathology; before it is possible to identify an abnormal optic disk ...
