  An 88-year-old female with pseudoexfoliation syndrome presented with sudden vision loss and was found to have a dislocated one piece intraocular lens (IOL) that was resting on the retina. She underwent 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy, IOL explantation, and anterior chamber IOL insertion. Intraoperative optical coherence tomography (EnFocus iOCT; Leica, Wetzlar, Germany) was used to assess the position and vault of the IOL on the retinal surface [Figure 1] a. Utilization of iOCT enabled the surgeon to safely grasp the IOL with forceps in the location with the greatest vault in order to minimize any potential trauma to the retina [Figure ...

5. Vessel Density in nAMD After Longterm Anti-VEGF Treatment Compared to Recently Started Anti-VEGF Treatment
  
  Explore Home - ClinicalTrials.gov Feb 7 2019 Ophthalmology , Clinical Trials
  
  Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is characterized by the abnormal growth of blood vessels from the choroid into the subretinal space which leads to sub- and intraretinal fluid accumulation, hemorrhages and subretinal fibrosis with progressive loss of central vision. Intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment is the standard of care. Intravitreal anti-VEGF application might temporarily increase intraocular pressure due to a volume effect. It remains unclear if repeated injections might have an impact on retinal capillary perfusion. Therefore this study aims to investigate the vascular microcirculation differences between patients who received longterm intravitreal Anti-VEGF treatment and patients who recently started Anti-VEGF treatment using ...

9. Imaging of meibomian glands: from bench to bedside and back
  
  Explore Nature Publishing Group Feb 6 2019 Ophthalmology
  
  In this issue of Eye, Randon et al. [ 1 ] present the interesting findings of an in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) cross-sectional study in which they describe different patterns of presumed meibomian glands (MGs) abnormalities and propose a new IVCM–meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) classification. This research represents an interesting effort toward a personalized diagnostic and therapeutic approach to MGD patients. In the last years, we have seen an imaging revolution in the study of MGD. Technological evolution provided us new non- (or nearly non-) invasive tools, including infrared (IR) meibography [ 2 ], IVCM, and optical coherence tomography meibography (OCT-M) [ 3 , 4 ...

11. Serial swept-source optical coherence tomography: Tale of a choroidal tuberculom
  
  Explore Oman Journal of Ophthalmology Feb 5 2019 Ophthalmology
  
  Choroidal tuberculoma is a solitary elevated choroidal mass-like lesion regarded often characteristic of intraocular tuberculosis. Serial swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) is a very important tool in monitoring the course of choroidal tuberculoma and allows in early detection of complications such as choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM). We describe a 26-year-old young Indian female, who presented with a solitary choroidal mass lesion in the left eye. Based on positive Mantoux test, biopsy of cervical lymph nodes showing acid-fast bacilli and radiographic findings, a diagnosis of choroidal tuberculoma was made. Serial SS-OCT during subsequent follow-up visits up to 14 months demonstrated the ...

12. Optical coherence tomography angiography for the anterior segment
  
  Explore Eye and Vision Feb 5 2019 Ophthalmology
  
  Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a rapid and non-invasive technique for imaging vasculature in the eye. As OCTA can produce high-resolution cross-sectional images and allow depth-resolved analysis for accurate localization of pathology of interest, it has become a promising method for anterior segment imaging. Furthermore, OCTA offers a more patient-friendly alternative to the conventional invasive dye-based fluorescent angiography. However, conventional OCTA systems are typically designed and optimized for the posterior segment of the eye, and thus using OCTA for anterior segment imaging can present several difficulties and limitations. In this review, we summarized the recent developments and clinical applications ...

  Explore Nature Publishing Group Feb 4 2019 Ophthalmology
  
  We propose an image processing method for ordering anterior chamber optical coherence tomography (OCT) images in a fully unsupervised manner. The method consists of three steps: Firstly we preprocess the images (filtering the noise, aligning and normalizing the resolution); secondly, a distance measure between images is computed for every pair of images; thirdly we apply a machine learning algorithm that exploits the distance measure to order the images in a two-dimensional plane. The method is applied to a large (~1000) database of anterior chamber OCT images of healthy subjects and patients with angle-closure and the resulting unsupervised ordering and classification ...
