      Notal Vision Diagnostic Clinic reports completion of 6 million ForeseeHome AMD home-monitoring tests

      Notal Vision, Inc., a company focused on advancing eye care with precision medicine by extending disease management from the clinic to the home, celebrates the completion of six million patient tests performed with ForeseeHome, the first FDA-cleared home-monitoring device for patients with intermediate dry Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) at risk for developing wet AMD. ForeseeHome uses a patented technology, Preferential Hyperacuity Perimetry® (PHP), that can identify minute changes in the central 14 degrees of visual field before the patient has any visual symptoms. During the test, which takes about three minutes, the central macula is evaluated for changes in metamorphopsia ...

      Monitoring retinal responses to acute intraocular pressure elevation in rats with visible light optical coherence tomography

      Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is an important risk factor for glaucoma. However, the role of IOP in glaucoma progression, as well as retinal physiology in general, remains incompletely understood. We demonstrate the use of visible light optical coherence tomography to measure retinal responses to acute IOP elevation in Brown Norway rats. We monitored retinal responses in reflectivity, angiography, blood flow, oxygen saturation (sO2 ), and oxygen metabolism over a range of IOP from 10 to 100 mmHg. As IOP was elevated, nerve fiber layer reflectivity was found to decrease. Vascular perfusion in the three retinal capillary plexuses remained steady until IOP ...

      Optical Coherence Tomography-Angiography of Different Choroidal Neovascularization Subtypes in Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration

      Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss in individuals over 55 years of age worldwide. Conventionally, it is divided into two subtypes – dry (non-neovascular) and wet (neovascular) form. Neovascular age-related macular degeneration comprises only 10-15% of all patients but is responsible for more than 80% of blindness related to the disease. It requires early diagnosis and timely treatment. Fluorescein angiography is the current ‘gold standard’ for diagnosing neovascular forms. However, as an invasive procedure, it may be contraindicated in some circumstances and cause serious adverse effects. Optical coherence tomography-angiography is a relatively new, non-invasive and fast ...

      Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of Macula in Chronic Anterior Ischaemic Optic Neuropathy Associated with Giant Cell Arteritis

      A 74-year-old man presented with bilateral optic nerve atrophy related to arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AION) which started 22 years ago. Atrophic papilla was noted in both eyes and optical coherence tomography showed thinning of the retinal nerve fibres layer as well as the macular ganglion cell complex. Optical coherence tomography angiography of the macula found a decreased density of the superficial capillary complex, whereas deep capillary complex was well-preserved. Inner retinal layer atrophy in chronic arteritic AION is followed by a loss of vascularisation in these layers as a consequence of the neurodegeneration.

      Evaluation of posterior vitreous detachment using ultrasonography and optical coherence tomography

      Purpose To compare the diagnostic ability of ultrasonography (US) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in evaluating posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) status. Methods In total, 124 eyes in 63 patients were prospectively enrolled. Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) status was evaluated by two examiners independently using US and OCT (transverse scan with/without peripapillary scan). By combining all examination results from both examiners, a final agreement on the PVD status was made. Inter‐observer agreement and inter‐examination agreement on PVD detection were evaluated. Results The inter‐observer agreement on PVD grading based on US was substantial (kappa = 0.628). The inter ...

      Methods for Quantifying Optic Disc Volume and Peripapillary Deflection Volume Using Radial Optical Coherence Tomography Scans and Association with Intracranial Pressure

      Purpose: Papilledema and peripapillary deformation of Bruch’s membrane(BM) are associated with elevated intracranial pressure(ICP). We have developed a novel methodology to measure these parameters using a radial optical coherence tomography(OCT) scan pattern and apply this to test the hypothesis that ICP is associated with volumetric features of ophthalmic structures. Methods: 6-radial OCT B-scans centered over the optic nerve head were acquired in 17 subjects(30 eyes) before lumbar puncture with measurement of ICP(range:10-55 cm H2O). Internal limiting membrane(ILM) and BM were segmented. Three definitions of BM were studied to account for imaging artifact ...

      Identification of Retinal Biomarkers in Alzheimer’s Disease Using Optical Coherence Tomography: Recent Insights, Challenges, and Opportunities

      This review will highlight recent insights into measuring retinal structure in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A growing body of evidence indicates that disturbances in retinal blood flow and structure are related to cognitive function, which can severely impair vision. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optical imaging technology that may allow researchers and physicians to gain deeper insights into retinal morphology and clarify the impact of AD on retinal health and function. Direct and noninvasive measurement of retinal morphology using OCT has provided useful diagnostic and therapeutic indications in several central nervous system (CNS) diseases, including AD, multiple sclerosis, and ...

      Longitudinal detection of retinal alterations by visible and near-infrared optical coherence tomography in a dexamethasone-induced ocular hypertension mouse model

      The retina, as part of the central nervous system, has distinct anatomical and structural properties for its visual function. Light scattering spectroscopy, while widely used for tissue structural characterization and disease diagnosis, has been relatively unexplored in the living retina. Recently, we have developed a fiber-based visible and near-infrared optical coherence tomography system (vnOCT) for in vivo retinal imaging, to uniquely measure a spectroscopic marker (VN ratio) sensitive to nanoscale pathological changes. In the present study, we applied vnOCT in an animal model of glaucoma (dexamethasone-induced ocular hypertension mouse) and tested the capabilities of four optical markers, VN ratio, peripapillary ...
