1. Twenty-Four-Month OCTA Assessment in Diabetic Patients Undergoing Fixed-Interval Intravitreal Aflibercept Therapy

   Explore Healio.com Aug 26 2020 Ophthalmology

   

   BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Evaluate capillary perfusion density (CPD) in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) undergoing fixed intravit-real aflibercept injections (IAI) through 24 months. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Prospective, interventional, single-arm study enrolling 20 patients with persistent DME. Patients received IAI every 4 weeks until DME resolution followed by extension to every 8 weeks. Optical coherence tomography angiography was obtained at baseline, 6, 12, and 24 months. RESULTS: Sixteen of 20 eyes completed the study. Baseline mean central subfield thickness was 420 µm, which improved to 251 µm ( P < .001). The mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved by 5.5 letters ...

3. The adult zebrafish retina: In vivo optical sectioning with Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy and Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography

   Explore ScienceDirect Oct 13 2016 Developmental Biology , Ophthalmology

   

   Non-invasive imaging is an invaluable diagnostic tool in ophthalmology. Two imaging devices, the scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT), emerged from the clinical realm to provide research scientists with a real-time view of ocular morphology in living animals. We utilized these two independent imaging modalities in a complementary manner to perform in vivo optical sectioning of the adult zebrafish retina. Due to the very high optical power of the zebrafish lens, the confocal depth of field is narrow, allowing for detailed en face views of specific retinal layers, including the cone mosaic. Moreover, we demonstrate ...

4. The Feasibility of Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Grading of Anterior Chamber Inflammation in a Rabbit Model of Anterior Uveitis

   Explore IOVS Journal Jul 13 2016 Ophthalmology

   

   Purpose : To determine the feasibility and accuracy of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) based grading of anterior chamber cell, using aqueous sampling as a standard, in a rabbit model of anterior uveitis. Methods : Adult Dutch-belted rabbits were preimmunized with M. tuberculosis (Tb) H37RA antigen, 1 week prior to induction of anterior uveitis with an intracameral injection of Tb antigen. The anterior chamber was imaged with SD-OCT, followed by a slit lamp examination. Two independent, trained graders recorded their estimate of anterior chamber cell count using the Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN) scores for each eye prior to performing an anterior ...

5. Optical coherence tomography of outer retinal holes in senile retinoschisis and schisis-detachment

   Explore BJO Online Jun 24 2016 Ophthalmology

   

   Purpose On clinical examination, it can be challenging to differentiate retinoschisis with outer retinal hole from schisis-detachment. This study examined the role of outer retinal hole spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging in conjunction with imaging of the posterior schisis cavity edge in differentiating between these conditions. Methods This is a retrospective case series. Out of 500 subjects with ICD-9 diagnoses of senile retinoschisis (361.10, 361.11, 361.12, 361.19) from January 2004 to December 2014, 62 had evidence of retinoschisis on fundus photography or optical coherence tomography (OCT). Six eyes of five patients had outer retinal ...

6. Retinal Regeneration Following OCT-guided Laser Injury in Zebrafish

   Explore iovs.org Sep 11 2014 Developmental Biology , Ophthalmology

   

   Purpose: Establish a focal injury/regeneration model in zebrafish using laser photocoagulation guided by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: Adult zebrafish were imaged by OCT and confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) in room air through a contact lens. Using a beam combiner, 532nm laser photocoagulation was applied using the OCT C-scan image for targeting. Laser spots of 42-47mW were delivered to the retina. At multiple intervals post-injury, fish were imaged using both OCT and cSLO to follow the progression of each lesion. Histologic sections and TUNEL staining were performed to monitor the injury response. Results: Round lesions (26057 ± 621μm2 ...

7. TRANS-TAMPONADE OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY: Postoperative Imaging in Gas-Filled Eyes

   Explore LWW Online Apr 28 2013 Ophthalmology

   

   Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of trans-tamponade optical coherence tomography and evaluate factors contributing to image quality and acquisition success. Methods: Retrospective case series of eyes receiving Postoperative Day 1 optical coherence tomography imaging after vitrectomy and gas tamponade. The quality of the scans was graded by three independent expert readers. Clinical and surgical variables were recorded and correlated with scan quality. Results: Eighty eyes were included in the study. An image quality classification scheme was developed (0-4, 0 = no image and 4 = comparable quality to trans-fluid optical coherence tomography). In 51 scans (64%), visualization of the inner retina and ...

8. Retinal and Choroidal Findings in Oxalate Retinopathy Using EDI-OCT

   Explore Healio.com Jan 30 2013 Ophthalmology

   

   A 55-year-old woman with extensive retinal crystalline deposition secondary to primary hyperoxaluria presented with bilateral loss of vision secondary to oxalate retinopathy. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography revealed intraretinal, subretinal, and intraretinal and subretinal pigment epithelium, and choroidal focal hyperreflective structures consistent with both neurosensory and uveal deposition of oxalate crystals. Serial optical coherence tomography revealed continued crystalline deposition with progressive retinal atrophy.

9. A Novel Segmentation Algorithm for Volumetric Analysis of Macular Hole Boundaries Identified with Optical Coherence Tomography

   Explore iovs.org Dec 6 2012 Ophthalmology

   

   To demonstrate a novel algorithm for macular hole (MH) segmentation and volumetric analysis. Methods: An computer algorithm was developed for automated MH segmentation in spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Algorithm validation was performed by trained graders with performance characterized by absolute accuracy and intraclass correlation coefficient. A retrospective, case series of 56 eyes of 55 patients with idiopathic MH analyzed using the custom algorithm to measure MH volume, base area/diameter, top area/diameter, minimum diameter, and height-to-base diameter ratio. Five eyes were excluded due to poor signal quality (1), motion artifact (1), and failure of surgical closure (3 ...
