      Explore Ophthalmology Times Ophthalmology
      Detecting a macular hole or photoreceptor detachment is critical for obtaining good surgical results in patients with myopic foveoschisis. Patients with the foveal detachment type seem to benefit the most from vitrectomy. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) are valuable for managing these patients, said Yasushi Ikuno, MD, Osaka University Medical School, Osaka, Japan.

      Introduction Optic neuritis causes retinal nerve fiber layer damage, which can be quantified with optical coherence tomography. Optical coherence tomography may be used to track nerve fiber layer changes and to establish a time-dependent relationship between retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and visual function after optic neuritis. Methods This prospective case series included 78 patients with optic neuritis, who underwent optical coherence tomography and visual testing over a mean period of 28 months. The main outcome measures included comparing inter-eye differences in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness between clinically affected and non-affected eyes over time; establishing when RNFL thinning stabilized ...
