      Sectoral variations of iridocorneal angle width and iris volume in Chinese Singaporeans: a swept-source optical coherence tomography study

      Purpose To assess variations in the iridocorneal angle width and iris volume in Chinese subjects using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). Methods Consecutive subjects, aged 40–80 years, with no previous ophthalmic problems were recruited from a population-based study of Chinese Singaporeans. All subjects underwent 360° SS-OCT (SS-1000 CASIA, Tomey Corporation, Nagoya, Japan) angle imaging and gonioscopy in one randomly selected eye in the dark. For each eye, 16 frames (11.25° apart) were selected for analysis from 128 cross-sectional images, and measurements of the trabecular iris space area 750 μm from the scleral spur (TISA750) and iris volume were ...

      Explore Home - Springer Ophthalmology
      Assessment of trabecular meshwork width using swept source optical coherence tomography

      Purpose Measurements of the angle width by ultrasound biomicroscopy or anterior segment optical coherence tomography are usually performed 500 μm from the scleral spur, as the anterior part of trabecular meshwork (TM) is assumed to lie within this distance. The aim of this study was to measure TM width using swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT, CASIA SS-1000, Tomey Corporation, Nagoya, Japan), and to investigate factors influencing this measurement. Methods Participants underwent gonioscopy and SS-OCT imaging in the dark. High-definition SS-OCT images were corrected for refractive distortion; and customized software (ImageJ; National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA) was utilized ...

      Relationship Between Intraocular Pressure and Angle Configuration: An Anterior Segment OCT Study

      Purpose: To assess the relationship between intra-ocular pressure (IOP) and anterior chamber angle (ACA) configuration as assessed by gonioscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Methods: 2045 subjects aged 50 years and over, recruited from a community clinic, underwent AS-OCT, Goldmann applanation tonometry, and gonioscopy. A quadrant was classified as closed on gonioscopy if the posterior trabecular meshwork could not be seen. A closed quadrant on AS-OCT was defined by the presence of any contact between the iris and angle wall anterior to the scleral spur. Customized software (Zhongshan Angle Assessment Program, Guangzhou, China) was used to measure AS-OCT ...

      Classification Algorithms Based on Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Measurements for Detection of Angle Closure

      Objective: A recent study found that a combination of 6 anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) parameters (anterior chamber area, volume, and width [ACA, ACV, ACW], lens vault [LV], iris thickness at 750 μm from the scleral spur, and iris cross-sectional area) explain >80% of the variability in angle width. The aim of this study was to evaluate classification algorithms based on ASOCT measurements for the detection of gonioscopic angle closure.Design: Cross-sectional study.Participants: We included 2047 subjects aged ≥50 years.Methods: Participants underwent gonioscopy and ASOCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA).

      Single versus sequential testing with scanning peripheral anterior chamber depth analyser, IOLMaster and anterior segment optical coherence tomography for the detection of narrow angles
      Background Scanning peripheral anterior chamber depth analyser (SPAC), IOLMaster and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) are devices that can screen non-invasively for narrow angles (NAs) and may reduce the need for gonioscopy, especially where the availability of ophthalmologists is limited. When used individually to detect NAs, neither SPAC, AS-OCT nor IOLMaster were able to achieve both high sensitivity and specificity when using gonioscopy as a gold standard. Aims To assess whether sequential testing improves discrimination of NAs over single testing. Methods In a prospective community-based cross-sectional study in Singapore, 2047 phakic right eyes underwent SPAC, IOLMaster and AS-OCT. NA ...

      Objective  To assess the diagnostic performance of angle measurements from anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) images for identifying eyes with narrow angles. Methods  We conducted a community-based cross-sectional study of individuals 50 years or older who had phakic eyes and who underwent AS-OCT imaging in the dark by a single operator and gonioscopy by an ophthalmologist masked to AS-OCT findings. An eye was considered to have narrow angles if the posterior pigmented trabecular meshwork was not visible for at least 180° on gonioscopy. Horizontal AS-OCT images were analyzed for the following measurements using customized software: angle opening distance (AOD ...

    11. Optical coherence tomography of the retina and optic nerve – a review

      Explore Resolve a DOI Ophthalmology
      Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a rapid non-contact method that allows in vivo imaging of the retina, optic nerve head and retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL). Since its introduction in Ophthalmology approximately a decade ago, the use of this technology has disseminated into the clinical practice. OCT has proven to be a useful ancillary tool for assessing retinal diseases because of its capability to provide cross-sectional images of the retina, and also to perform quantitative analysis of retinal morphology. In glaucoma, the OCT represents one of the methods capable of documenting and analysing optic disc and RNFL morphology in attempt ...

      Objective To assess the ability of high-definition optical coherence tomography (HD-OCT) to image the anterior chamber angle. Methods Forty-five consecutive subjects with phakic eyes underwent gonioscopy and anterior chamber angle imaging with HD-OCT adapted with a 60-diopter aspheric lens mounted over the imaging aperture. The patients' fixation was directed to the side using an external fixation light, and scans were taken of the temporal and nasal quadrants. The visibility of angle structures was assessed and the diagnosis of angle closure using HD-OCT was compared with that of gonioscopy. Results The majority of subjects were Chinese (91.1%) and female (62 ...
