  Purpose To compare the reproducibility and agreement of anterior chamber angle (ACA) parameters and metrics obtained by four different anterior segment-optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) devices. Methods In this prospective study, 30 eyes from 15 normal subjects underwent anterior segment angle scanning using the Spectralis, Cirrus, and Optovue spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), as well as the Visante time-domain optical coherence tomography (TD-OCT). For each eye, the scan line was performed perpendicularly on the inferior (270°) angle, and the inferior ACA image was acquired 2 times. Inter-instrument and intra-instrument, as well as inter-observer and intra-observer reproducibility of anterior chamber angle ...

  Explore Nature Publishing Group Dec 10 2019 Ophthalmology
  
  To construct an optical coherence tomography (OCT) nerve fiber layer (NFL) parameter that has maximal correlation and agreement with visual field (VF) mean deviation (MD). The NFL_MD parameter in dB scale was calculated from the peripapillary NFL thickness profile nonlinear transformation and VF area-weighted averaging. From the Advanced Imaging for Glaucoma study, 245 normal, 420 pre-perimetric glaucoma (PPG), and 289 perimetric glaucoma (PG) eyes were selected. NFL_MD had significantly higher correlation (Pearson R: 0.68 vs 0.55, p < 0.001) with VF_MD than the overall NFL thickness. NFL_MD also had significantly higher sensitivity in detecting PPG (0.14 vs ...

3. Comparison of Glaucoma Progression Detection by Optical Coherence Tomography and Visual Field
  
  Explore American Journal of Ophthalmology Sep 27 2017 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose To compare longitudinal glaucoma progression detection using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and visual field (VF). Design Validity assessment Method We analyzed subjects with more than 5 follow-up visits (every 6 months) in the multi-center Advanced Imaging for Glaucoma Study. Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to map the thickness of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (NFL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC). OCT-based progression detection was defined as a significant negative trend for either NFL or GCC. VF progression was reached if either the event or trend analysis reached significance. Result The analysis included 417 glaucoma suspect/pre-perimetric ...

4. Structural and functional imaging of aqueous humor outflow: a review
  
  Explore Wiley Online Library Sep 12 2017 Ophthalmology
  
  Maintaining healthy aqueous humor outflow (AHO) is important for intraocular cellular health and stable vision. Impairment of AHO can lead to increased intraocular pressure, optic nerve damage, and concomitant glaucoma. An improved understanding of AHO will lead to improved glaucoma surgeries that enhance native AHO as well as facilitate the development of AHO-targeted pharmaceuticals. Recent AHO imaging has evolved to live human assessment and has focused on the structural evaluation of AHO pathways and the functional documentation of fluid flow. Structural AHO evaluation is predominantly driven by optical coherence tomography, and functional evaluation of flow is performed using various methods ...

9. Utility of anterior segment swept-source optical coherence tomography for imaging eyes with antecedent ocular trauma
  
  Explore ScienceDirect Apr 2 2016 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose To evaluate the utility of swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for the analysis of anterior segment structures in cases with previous traumatic eye injuries. Observations We report three eyes of three patients with anterior segment traumatic eye injury and highlight the role of SS-OCT in their evaluation and management. This technology enabled us to visualize the structural details of anterior segment of the eye and augment the clinical examination in our patients. Given that it is non-invasive and that there is no contact involved, it may be an ideal imaging modality for traumatic eye injuries for viewing the ...

  Purpose:To determine the relationship among visual field, neural structural, and blood flow measurements in glaucoma. Methods:Case-control study. Forty-seven eyes of 42 patients with perimetric glaucoma were age-matched with 27 normal eyes of 27 patients. All patients underwent Doppler Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography to measure retinal blood flow and standard glaucoma evaluation with visual field testing and quantitative structural imaging. Linear regression analysis was performed to analyze the relationship among visual field, blood flow, and structure, after all variables were converted to logarithmic decibel scale. Results:Retinal blood flow was reduced in glaucoma eyes compared to normal eyes (p
