Case Report: Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of Idiopathic Foveal Hypoplasia and Its Correlation With Visual Acuity.

Significance: Foveal hypoplasia is described clinically by the absence of a foveal pit and subsequent reduction in visual acuity. Optical coherence tomography angiography provides precise segmentation of the retinal vascular supply demonstrating the vascular perfusion in affected patients. Preservation of perfusion is linked to visual acuity and function.

Staging glaucoma using Stratus OCT in a U.S. veteran population.

Purpose: This study examines the ability of time domain optical coherence tomography (Stratus OCT) of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) to discriminate between normal patients and patients with three stages of glaucomatous vision loss in a US veteran population.

Methods: A review of consecutive patients who underwent automated perimetry and Stratus OCT Fast RNFL scanning within a 6-month period was conducted. Patients with nonglaucomatous ocular disease that might affect the RNFL or perimetry results were excluded.

Topographical analysis of the optic nerve in migraine patients.

Purpose: Vascular dysfunction appears related to the development of migraines and has been associated with pressure-independent glaucoma. The purpose of this study is to investigate possible topographical differences in the optic nerve between migraine sufferers and normal age-matched control subjects. The identification of optic disc topographical differences between migraine and non-migraine sufferers may help clinicians determine if the presence of migraine influences the development and progression of glaucoma.

Pupil sparing incomplete third nerve palsy secondary to a cavernous sinus meningioma: challenges in management.

Background: The diagnosis of incomplete third nerve palsy can be clinically challenging because the aetiologies, as well as presentations, can be variable and subtle. The optometric clinician should be familiar with the association of third nerve palsy with compressive lesions, including the clinical presentations and management of these patients.

Case Report: We present a 68-year-old hypertensive male complaining of intermittent diplopia for the previous six months.
