  Explore World J. Gastroenterology 2 hours, 4 min ago Ophthalmology
  
  BACKGROUND Glaucoma is an irreversible optic neuropathy with the loss of visual field and decrease of vision. The variable clinical manifestations may result in differential diagnostic difficulties. The early screening and diagnosis of glaucoma are currently experiencing a demand for anterior segment analysis tools that can gather more information with one short measurement. Therefore, we analyzed the agreement, difference, and correlation of chamber angle parameters such as angel opening distance at 500 μm (AOD500) and trabeculo-iris space area at 500 μm 2 (TISA500) measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). AIM To compare the differences ...

4. Optical coherence tomography vs fundus photography in detecting macular edema in subjects with type 2 diabetes (Thesis)
  
  Explore Home 5 hours, 7 min ago Ophthalmology , Student Theses
  
  Introduction The screening of diabetic retinopathy has been relied on fundus photography but since it is 2-dimensional, it is difficult to identify diabetic macular edema (DME), which is the most feared ocular complication related to diabetes. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been shown to be a useful tool in detecting and monitoring DME. The main objective of this study was to screen people with type 2 diabetes and find out how many patients have current diabetic macular edema and to compare different screening equipment by means of fundus photography and OCT when evaluating macular edema. Method The sample of this ...

  Explore ScienceDirect 5 hours, 23 min ago Ophthalmology
  
  Müller cells (MC) represent a key element for the metabolic and functional regulation of the vertebrate retina. The aim of the present study was to test the feasibility of a new method for the in-vivo detection and quantification of extrafoveal MC in human retina. We developed a new approach to isolate and analyse extrafoveal MC in vivo, starting from structural optical coherence tomography data. Our pilot investigation was based on the optical properties of MC, which are known to not interfere with the light reaching the outer retinal structures. We reconstructed MC in the macular region of 18 healthy ...

  Legacy Emanuel Hospital and Health Center Receives a 2020 NIH Grant for $543,351 for Advancing OCT Evolution to Reveal Early-Stage Chalnges in Glaucoma. The principal investigator is Brad Fortune. Below is a summary of the proposed work. Currently, diagnosis of glaucoma and patient management decisions are often informed by thinning of the optic nerve head (ONH) neuro-retinal rim, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and macular inner retinal layers, as detected using optical coherence tomography (OCT). These measurements are useful because they are predictive of subsequent visual field decline, and of faster rates of subsequent thinning. However, by the ...

  Dear Editor, Choroidal melanoma is a rare malignancy, and in one study from the United Kingdom, up to 30% of patients referred by the general ophthalmologist to an ocular oncology center were misdiagnosed. [1] Later, the mnemonic “To find small ocular melanoma using helpful hints daily” [2] was established to aid in the detection of this malignancy at an early point. With the rapid advancements in ocular imaging technology, quantifiable and objective tests are becoming more ubiquitous in ophthalmology. In glaucoma, standardized, automated, quantifiable, and objective optical coherence tomography (OCT) peripapillary and macular diagnostic parameters have been shown to have ...

11. OCT-Angiography in Geographic Atrophy
  
  Explore Karger Publishers 10 hours, 11 min ago Ophthalmology
  
  Geographic atrophy (GA) represents the nonexudative late stage of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and constitutes a leading cause of legal blindness in the developed world. It is characterized by areas of loss of outer retinal layers including photoreceptors, degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium, and rarefication of the choriocapillaris. As all three layers are functionally connected, the precise temporal sequence and relative contribution of these layers towards the development and progression of GA is unclear. The advent of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) has allowed for three-dimensional visualization of retinal blood flow. Using OCT-A, recent studies have demonstrated that choriocapillaris ...

  To assess preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings of foveal splitting retinal detachment (RD), and to determine their postoperative outcomes. Consecutive patients who underwent RD surgery over a one-year period were included. Patients diagnosed with a detachment extending to the edge of the fovea on fundus examination (i.e. macula-On/Off) underwent macular OCT scanning. One-year visual acuity (VA) of macula-On/Off, macula-On and macula-Off eyes was compared. 85 eyes were included, of which 8 had a macula-On/Off RD. On preoperative OCT, all macula-On/Off RD had a foveal detachment extending beyond the foveal center, over a median distance ...

  Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is useful for visualizing retinal and ocular structures in vivo . In research, SD-OCT is a valuable tool to evaluate and characterize changes in a variety of retinal and ocular disease and injury models. In light induced retinal degeneration models, SD-OCT can be used to track thinning of the photoreceptor layer over time. In glaucoma models, SD-OCT can be used to monitor decreased retinal nerve fiber layer and total retinal thickness and to observe optic nerve cupping after inducing ocular hypertension. In diabetic rodents, SD-OCT has helped researchers observe decreased total retinal thickness as well as ...

  Traditional diagnostic tests for dry eye disease (DED), such as fluorescein tear film break-up time and the Schirmer test, are often associated with poor reproducibility and reliability, which make the diagnosis, follow-up, and management of the disease challenging. Advances in ocular imaging technology enables objective and reproducible measurement of changes in the ocular surface, tear film, and optical quality associated with DED. In this review, the authors will discuss the application of various imaging techniques, such as, noninvasive tear break-up time, anterior segment optical coherence tomography, in vivo confocal microscopy, meibography, interferometry, aberrometry, thermometry, and tear film imager in DED ...

  Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) allows in vivo , non-invasive, functional imaging of retinal perfusion. The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of OCT-A in visualizing the complete retinal vasculature by comparing in vivo OCT-A images to matched ex vivo tissue in mice. Adult female C57BL/6 mice were imaged to obtain OCT-A images of the superficial vascular complex, intermediate capillary plexus and deep capillary plexus. Z-stack fluorescence images of whole-mounted retinas, labeled for vascular endothelial cells by anti-isolectin immunohistochemistry and FITC-dextran perfusion, were generated.
