    3. Central visual field impairment during and following cystoid macular oedema

      Explore BJO Online Ophthalmology
      Aim: To determine differential light threshold values obtained with the Micro Perimeter 1 (MP1) in uveitis patients suffering from cystoid macular oedema (CMO) and to compare these measures to retinal thickness. Methods: Static threshold perimetry was performed with the MP1 Microperimeter in 27 eyes of 21 patients with a history of chronically recurring CMO. Active CMO was confirmed in 19 eyes. Eight eyes with a history of recurrent CMO were found to have normal foveal contours in optical coherence tomography (OCT). Differential light threshold values (MP1) were compared with the corresponding retinal thickness measures (OCT). Results: Mean differential threshold values ...

    4. Degree of angle closure and extent of peripheral anterior synechiae: an anterior segment OCT study

      Explore BJO Online Ophthalmology
      Aims: To evaluate the relationship between angle width as determined by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and the presence of peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS). Methods: This was a prospective observational case series in which 203 subjects with primary angle closure or open angles were recruited. Images of the nasal, temporal and inferior angles were obtained with AS-OCT in dark conditions. Subjects then underwent gonioscopy by an independent examiner who was masked to the AS-OCT findings. PAS were identified by gonioscopy and defined as abnormal adhesions of the iris to the angle that were at least half a clock hour ...

      Explore BJO Online Ophthalmology
      Aims: To describe a new, simpler method of achieving the advantages of a lamellar wound configuration in penetrating keratoplasty (PKP)—the half-top-hat (HTH) configuration. Methods: The donor corneal button was prepared in a top-hat configuration, as previously described. It consisted of a central, full-thickness part, 7–8 mm in diameter, surrounded by a peripheral lamellar wing of deep stroma and endothelium that was 0.5 mm in width (wing diameter 8–9 mm). The recipient bed was prepared by a straight full thickness trephination with a suction trephine. The donor button was positioned by sliding the peripheral wing under the ...

    8. Stratus OCT in Dominant Optic Atrophy: Features Differentiating it From Glaucoma.

      Explore NCBI HomePage Ophthalmology
      PURPOSE: To describe the Stratus optical coherence tomography (OCT) retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness profile of dominant optic atrophy (DOA), to differentiate it from that of glaucoma. METHODS: RNFL thickness was measured using Stratus OCT in 32 eyes of 16 DOA patients. RESULTS: The temporal-most clock hour measurement was outside the 95% normal limit in 29 of the 32 DOA eyes (90.6%). The pattern of RNFL damage was bilaterally symmetrical in location and severity in all subjects. CONCLUSION: Stratus OCT shows characteristic findings differentiating DOA from glaucoma.

      Related Articles Fourier domain optical coherence tomography with a linear-in-wavenumber spectrometer. Opt Lett. 2007 Dec 15;32(24):3525-7 Authors: Hu Z, Rollins AM We describe Fourier domain optical coherence tomography equipped with a novel linear-in-wavenumber spectrometer. The presented device linearizes the spectral dispersion of the spectrometer in wavenumber using a specifically designed prism. The spectral linearity in wavenumber makes numerical interpolation into wavenumber unnecessary, reduces computing time, and furthermore results in improvement of the falloff of signal with image range inherent to frequency-domain optical coherence tomography imaging. Experiments demonstrate the improvement of the falloff and agree with the expected ...

    13. Correlation between retinal nerve fibre layer thickness and retinal sensitivity

      Explore Blackwell Synergy Ophthalmology
      Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and light threshold values obtained with the Micro Perimeter 1 (MP1). Methods: Forty-nine normal subjects and 37 glaucoma patients were included. Thickness of the RNFL around the optic disc was measured with Stratus OCT scans, and static threshold perimetry was performed with the MP1 at the same visit. Total average and mean 12-clock-hour RNFL thickness were measured with Stratus OCT. An automated 4-2-1 staircase strategy with Goldmann III stimuli was used for MP1. The correspondence between Stratus OCT and MP1 RNFL measurements ...

    19. Birefringence characterization of biological tissue by use of optical coherence tomography.

      Explore NCBI HomePage Ophthalmology
      Authors: Everett MJ, Schoenenberger K, Colston BW, Da Silva LB An improved polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (OCT) system is developed and used to measure birefringence in porcine myocardium tissue and produce two-dimensional birefringence mapping of the tissue. Signal-to-noise issues that cause systematic measurement errors are analyzed to determine the regime in which such measurements are accurate. The advantage of polarization-sensitive OCT systems over standard OCT systems in avoiding image artifacts caused by birefringence is also demonstrated. PMID: 18084468 [PubMed - in process]

    23. Synthesized optical coherence tomography for imaging of scattering objects by use of a stepwise frequency-modulated tunable laser diode.

      Explore NCBI HomePage Ophthalmology
      Opt Lett. 1999 Nov 1;24(21):1502-4 Authors: He Z, Hotate K A technique named synthesized optical coherence tomography (SOCT) has been proposed and developed as an alternative method to the well-known optical coherence tomography for cross-sectional imaging of scattering objects. SOCT is based on the principle of synthesis of an optical coherence function by use of a tunable laser diode. With stepwise frequency modulation of light and synchronous phase modulation, the coherence function is synthesized into a peak at an arbitrary location. The longitudinal scattering distribution of the object under test is thus obtained without a mechanically driven ...

    24. Optimal interferometer designs for optical coherence tomography.

      Explore NCBI HomePage Ophthalmology
      Opt Lett. 1999 Nov 1;24(21):1484-6 Authors: Rollins AM, Izatt JA We introduce a family of power-conserving fiber-optic interferometer designs for low-coherence reflectometry that use optical circulators, unbalanced couplers, and (or) balanced heterodyne detection. Simple design equations for optimization of the signal-to-noise ratio of the interferometers are expressed in terms of relevant signal and noise sources and measurable system parameters. We use the equations to evaluate the expected performance of the new configurations compared with that of the standard Michelson interferometer that is commonly used in optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems. The analysis indicates that improved sensitivity is ...
