1. Progression in Glaucoma (Thesis)
  
  Explore Lund University Publications Jan 25 2020 Ophthalmology , Student Theses
  
  The treatment of glaucoma is focused on reducing the intraocular pressure to a level at which progression is impeded. A diagnosis of glaucoma is not considered certain until progression is confirmed, and thus detecting progression is a central aspect in both the diagnosing and the monitoring of glaucoma patients. Progression can be identified either through examination of either functional changes in the visual field or structural changes in the retinal nerve fibre layer in the optic disc or in the retina. Optic disc photography, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) that uses laser light, are two methods that are widely used ...

2. Curved-Full-Field OCT for high-resolution imaging of living human retina over a large field-of-view
  
  Explore arxiv.org Jan 25 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Allying high-resolution with a large field-of-view (FOV) is of great importance in the fields of biology and medicine [1, 2, 3], but particularly challenging when imaging non-flat living samples such as the human retina. Indeed, high-resolution is normally achieved with adaptive optics (AO) and scanning methods, which considerably reduce the useful FOV and increase the system complexity. An alternative technique is time-domain Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (FF-OCT) [4, 5], which has already shown its potential for in-vivo high-resolution retinal imaging [6]. Here, we introduce curved-field FF-OCT, capable of matching the coherence gate geometry to the sample curvature, thus achieving a ...

  Explore Home - Springer Jan 25 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Background Postoperative intraretinal fluid (IRF) is reportedly associated with visual outcomes after epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery. However, preoperative IRF is common, and persistent IRF would have different impact on visual function from postoperative newly developed IRF. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the incidence rate and clinical implications of perioperative IRF in ERM. Methods Medical records of patients who underwent vitrectomy for idiopathic ERM between January 2014 and January 2017 were reviewed retrospectively. The incidence of IRF was analyzed using optical coherence tomography preoperatively and 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. On the basis of the presence or absence and the ...

  Explore SAGE Journals Jan 23 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose: To evaluate affected choroidal regions and corresponding retinal changes in acute and recurrent central serous chorioretinopathy using swept-source optical coherence tomography. Methods: The foveal and subfoveal choroidal thicknesses were measured with swept-source optical coherence tomography. The retina was divided into five zones on the swept-source optical coherence tomography image based on baseline choroidal thickness being <100, 100– 199, 200–299, 300–399 and ⩾400μm. The retinal and choroidal thicknesses in the same five regions were evaluated during follow-up. The measurements were then compared between baseline (when central serous chorioretinopathy was active) and follow-up (after complete resolution of disease ...

  Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is characterized by a progressive fragmentation and calcification of elastic fibers in connective tissue and when Bruch membrane (BM) is affected ocular modifications can be found. Recently, Optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCT-A) contribute to a better comprehension of lesions in PXE. A 58-year-old woman presented with Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) complicated by choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in the right eye. Fundus examination found indirect signs of CNV associated with peau d’orange, angioid streaks (AS), Reticular pseudodrusen and subretinal fibrosis (SRF). Multimodal imaging confirmed the diagnosis of CNV and showed a hyper-reflective deposit on AS and SRF which expressed a ...

  As a new optical coherence tomography (OCT) modality, OCT angiography (OCTA) provides a noninvasive method to detect microvascular distortions correlated with eye conditions. By providing unparalleled capability to differentiate individual plexus layers in the retina, OCTA has demonstrated its excellence in clinical management of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, sickle cell retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, and other eye diseases. Quantitative OCTA analysis of retinal and choroidal vasculatures is essential to standardize objective interpretations of clinical outcome.

24. Retinal neurovascular responses to transcorneal electrical stimulation measured with optical coherence tomography
  
  Explore SAGE Journals Jan 22 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Noninvasive transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES) has emerged as a potential strategy to facilitate visual restoration and promote retinal cell survival for certain retinal and optic nerve diseases owing to its neuroprotective effects. However, the neurovascular responses of retinal neurons evoked by TES have not been completely determined. To investigate this issue, we utilized a custom-designed spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to record the retinal neural and vascular responses under TES in vivo simultaneously. Significant increases of both positive and negative intrinsic optical signal (IOS) changes were recorded in all three segmented retinal layers, which mainly related to neural activities. However ...
