Monitoring keratitis resolution with optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: Biomicroscopy is generally used, sometimes in conjunction with photography or ultrasound pachymetry, to monitor conditions involving stromal keratitis and edema. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), a technology typically used to examine the posterior segment, may be useful in monitoring the therapeutic interventions for conditions involving corneal edema such as disciform keratitis.

Case Reports: Two cases of disciform keratitis were followed to resolution using SD-OCT with anterior segment imaging software (Cirrus 4000; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA) to quantify decreasing edema throughout treatment.

Peripapillary vitreoretinal traction.

Background: Vitreoretinal traction syndrome may occur in patients with incomplete posterior vitreous detachment. Although vitreoretinal traction of the macula is well-documented in the literature, the manifestations of peripapillary vitreoretinal traction are rarely discussed.

Case Report: A 62-year-old black woman presented for a comprehensive examination.
