Choroidal thickness profile in Retinitis Pigmentosa - Correlation with outer retinal structures.

Purpose: To compare the choroidal thickness (CT) of subjects with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) with age-matched healthy subjects and to correlate the visual acuity with retinal parameters including central macular thickness (CMT), inner segment/outer segment junction (IS/OS junction) integrity, external limiting membrane (ELM) integrity and choroidal thickness in subjects with RP.

Methods: Eighty-eight eyes (69 patients) with typical RP and 188 eyes of 104 healthy subjects were enrolled between September 2012 and January 2013. All subjects underwent a comprehensive ocular examination including choroidal imaging using enhanced depth imaging with spectral domain optical coherence tomography.

Choroidal thickness in diabetic patients of Indian ethnicity.

Purpose: To evaluate choroidal thickness (CT) change in various grades of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in comparison to age-matched healthy subjects.

Methods: This prospective observational study included 227 eyes of 125 subjects with diabetes (study group: 58 females) and 197 eyes of 110 age-matched healthy subjects (control group: 66 females). Collected data included age, gender, duration of diabetes, glycemic control, comprehensive ocular examination, fundus photography, and CT measurement on spectral domain ocular coherence tomography using enhanced depth imaging.

Choroidal thickness profi le in healthy Indian subjects.

Purpose: The aim was to study choroidal thickness (CT) and its profile based on location in healthy Indian subjects using Cirrus high definition (HD) optical coherence tomography. Materials and Methods: A total of 211 eyes of 115 healthy subjects with no retinal or choroidal disease were consecutively scanned using Cirrus HD 1 line raster scan mode without pupillary dilation. Eyes with any ocular disease or axial length (AXL) >24 mm or <20 mm were excluded.

Choroidal thickness in macular telangiectasia type 2.

Purpose: To assess the choroidal thickness changes in eyes with macular telangiectasia Type 2 and their relationship with the integrity of outer retinal structures and visual acuity.

Methods: This is a prospective observational study that included 81 eyes (41 subjects) with macular telangiectasia Type 2, including 21 women who underwent enhanced depth choroidal imaging. The choroidal thickness measurements were made at the fovea and at 5 points with an interval of 500 μm in both directions, nasal and temporal from the fovea, and were compared with age-matched healthy subjects.

Review of endogenous endophthalmitis during pregnancy including case series.

Endogenous endophthalmitis during pregnancy is a rare condition with few reports of such infections in the peri- and post-partum period. We reviewed the literature on endogenous endophthalmitis in pregnancy and also report a series of four patients who presented to our institution from January 2011 to September 2011. We retrospectively reviewed four patients who developed endogenous endophthalmitis either during pregnancy (two patients) or in the post-partum period (two patients--one after abortion and one after normal term delivery).
