Purposes: To evaluate the effects of axial length and age on the circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) and the inner macular parameters measured using 3 spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) instruments. Methods: A total of 102 normal eyes (1 eye per subject) were imaged using Cirrus, RTVue, and 3D-OCT. The cpRNFL and the macular retinal nerve fiber layer (mRNFL), the ganglion cell layer+inner plexiform layer (GCLIPL), and the mRNFL+GCLIPL ganglion cell complex, GCC thicknesses were analyzed. The correlations between these values and the axial length or age were evaluated using a partial correlation analysis. These correlations were ...

Purpose To purpose if this study was to determine whether the horizontal rectus muscle tendons (HRMTs) can be observed using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and to determine the repeatability of its measurements. Also, this study aimed to observe and measure the different external ocular structures at the level of the horizontal rectus muscle (HRM) insertion. Methods This was a retrospective, observational, descriptive and comparative study. Images were obtained utilizing the RTVue 100 CAM system. Eyes were analyzed at the three and nine o’clock position. Scans were performed for three different locations: the limbus, the ciliary body and ...

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) was first applied for imaging of the eye, and until now, it has showed the largest benefit for ophthalmological examinations. The dynamic development of OCT has resulted in higher resolution, sensitivity, accuracy, and reproducibility of image of the detailed eye structures. This paper reviews the development of OCT and its applications to diagnose, monitor, and evaluate the treatment of eye diseases.

Background To investigate the influence of scan distance on retinal boundary detection errors (RBDEs) and retinal thickness measurements by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Methods 10 eyes of healthy subjects, 10 eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) and 10 eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) were examined with RTVue SD-OCT. The MM5 protocol was used in two consecutive sessions to scan the macula. For the first session, the device was set 3.5 cm from the eye in order to obtain detectable signal with low fundus image quality (suboptimal setting) while in the second session a distance of ...

An imaging method is disclosed. An imaging method according to some embodiments can include obtaining a plurality of measurements of an eye for at least one location by scanning optical radiation across the eye; determining a preferred measurement axis from the plurality of measurements; and processing the plurality of measurements to obtain information of the eye.

Purpose: The goal of this cross-sectional observational study was to quantify the pattern-shift visual evoked potentials (VEP) and the thickness as well as the volume of retinal layers using optical coherence tomography (OCT) across a cohort of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and age-matched controls. Methods: Forty-three PD patients and 38 controls were enrolled. All participants underwent a detailed neurological and ophthalmologic evaluation. Idiopathic PD cases were included. Cases with glaucoma or increased intra-ocular pressure were excluded. Patients were assessed by VEP and high-resolution Fourier-domain OCT, which quantified the inner and outer thicknesses of the retinal layers. VEP latencies and ...

The advent of scanning electron microscopy has facilitated our understanding of the In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the study of natural biological surfaces in the search for novel solutions in surface engineering design from nature. Most methods for surface imaging of natural biological samples are however, sacrificial and require that samples be sectioned and prepared for characterization. One example is the use of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) to obtain detailed images of microtopography, where a section of the specimen is cut and sputter coated with electrically conductive material like gold or platinum for scanning ...

PURPOSE. To compare measurement of macular inner retina and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness using 2 spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices in glaucoma patients, patients with ocular hypertension, idiopathic and atypical Parkinson's disease and healthy controls. METHODS. One-hundred seventy-one eyes of 146 participants underwent successful pRNFL and macular scanning and automated measurement of ganglion cell layer + inner plexiform layer (GCL-IPL) using Cirrus® HD-OCT or retinal nerve fiber layer + ganglion cell layer + inner plexiform layer (RNFL-GCL-IPL) using RTVue-100®. Macular RNFL was added to the GCL-IPL thickness measured by Cirrus and was compared to the RNFL-GCL-IPL thickness of ...
