5. Increase in anterior chamber angle depth after topical pilocarpine measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography: A possible additional indicator for laser peripheral iridotomy in primary angle-closure suspects in an opportunistic set-up
  
  Explore LWW Online Dec 1 2022 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose: Indication of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) is often conjectural due to dependency on gonioscopy and strict dichotomous classification of occludability. Indentation gonioscopy is the gold standard but is under-utilized for various reasons. The prevalence of primary angle closure disease (PACD) in eastern India is 1.5-1.9%, with a 22% five-year progression rate. Many angle closure patients may go blind without timely diagnosis and iridotomy. General ophthalmologists need alternate, validated methods for diagnoses. Pilocarpine eye drop causes miosis, and flattens the iris, producing angle changes detectable by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). We hypothesized that the amount of ...

11. A moderate dosage of coffee causes acute retinal capillary perfusion decrease in healthy young individuals
  
  Explore BMC Ophthalmology Dec 1 2022 Ophthalmology
  
  im: Caffeinated beverages are very popular across populations and cultures, but quantitative evidence of the acute effects of moderate coffee doses on retinal perfusion is sparse and contradicting. Thus, the aim of this randomized, cross-over and parallel-group design study was to investigate whether moderate consumption of coffee alters macular retinal capillary perfusion in young healthy individuals. Methods: Twenty-seven young healthy individuals were recruited for this study. Acute changes in retinal microvasculature were assessed using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography angiography (SD-OCTA) at baseline, 0.5 h, and 2 h after intake of coffee, or water. Meanwhile, cerebral blood flow (CBF) and ...

14. Choroidal layer segmentation in OCT images by a boundary enhancement network
  
  Explore Frontiers Nov 30 2022 Ophthalmology
  
  Morphological changes of the choroid have been proved to be associated with the occurrence and pathological mechanism of many ophthalmic diseases. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive technique for imaging of ocular biological tissues, that can reveal the structure of the retinal and choroidal layers in micron-scale resolution. However, unlike the retinal layer, the interface between the choroidal layer and the sclera is ambiguous in OCT, which makes it difficult for ophthalmologists to identify with certainty. In this paper, we propose a novel boundary-enhanced encoder-decoder architecture for choroid segmentation in retinal OCT images, in which a Boundary Enhancement Module ...

17. Asynchronous feature regularization and cross-modal distillation for OCT based glaucoma diagnosis
  
  Explore ScienceDirect Nov 29 2022 Ophthalmology
  
  Glaucoma has become a major cause of vision loss. Early-stage diagnosis of glaucoma is critical for treatment planning to avoid irreversible vision damage. Meanwhile, interpreting the rapidly accumulated medical data from ophthalmic exams is cumbersome and resource-intensive. Therefore, automated methods are highly desired to assist ophthalmologists in achieving fast and accurate glaucoma diagnosis. Deep learning has achieved great successes in diagnosing glaucoma by analyzing data from different kinds of tests, such as peripapillary optical coherence tomography (OCT) and visual field (VF) testing. Nevertheless, applying these developed models to clinical practice is still challenging because of various limiting factors. OCT models ...

  Hyperreflective dots are a common but highly variable feature of optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans of the retina. We studied the spatial characteristics and perfusion of hyperreflective dots using both structural and angiographic OCT B-scans of the macula in 16 eyes in 8 healthy subjects and 8 patients with diabetic retinopathy without macular edema. Hyperreflective dots were manually graded in a 1000 µm parafoveal area by number, diameter, location and perfusion status and traced through adjacent B-scans at 11 µm intervals to determine their length. Thereby, this study defined a procedure to identify granular and elongated hyperreflective elements and differentiate ...
