A Comparison between Scheimpflug Imaging and Optical Coherence Tomography in Measuring Corneal Thickness
Purpose . To evaluate Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) as an adjunct to traditional slit lamp examination of donor corneas with suspected Anterior Stromal Opacities. Methods . Seven corneas suspected of having anterior stromal opacities by slit lamp examination were evaluated with FD-OCT. Each cornea was evaluated to confirm the presence of opacity and, if present, the depth of opacity was measured. Results . The opacity depth ranged from 82 μ m to 624 μ m. The initial slit lamp impressions of five of the seven corneas were confirmed by OCT. In two corneas, the OCT findings were different from the initial slit lamp impressions ...
Purpose: To report a case of a patient receiving tamoxifen with visual deterioration and describe the unusual optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings. Method: Observational case report. Results: A 55-year-old female patient was referred to our department complaining of gradual visual deterioration in both eyes. Medical history was unremarkable apart from breast cancer for which she had received tamoxifen for 10 years (mean dosage 20 mg/day). Best corrected visual acuity was 20/400 in her right eye and 20/40 in her left eye. Fundoscopy in both eyes was without any obvious signs of maculopathy. However, Fourier-domain OCT demonstrated bilateral ...
