Purpose: To report the clinical and spectral domain optical coherence tomography findings in a patient with bilateral central vision loss and a history of exposure to polyamides.
Methods: The clinical presentation of the patient was documented with color fundus photographs and spectral domain optical coherence tomography. The patient was a 20-year-old male factory worker with no medical history who was initially admitted for workup of hematologic malignancy due to petechiae and fevers.
Purpose: To determine the effect of optical coherence tomography (OCT) B-scan density on the qualitative assessment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods: Data were collected from 59 patients imaged with Topcon 3D OCT-1000 (128 B-scans × 512 A-scans). Custom software was used to generate less dense subsets of scans: 1/16 (eight B-scans), 1/8 (16 B-scans), 1/4 (32 B-scans) and 1/2 (64 B-scans).
We present an interventional case report of exfoliating goblet cell hyperplasia mimicking pterygium. A 44-year-old male with bilateral lesions of the nasal bulbar conjunctiva extending over the cornea, consistent with pterygia, underwent surgical excision of the lesion in his left eye. Histopathologic examination revealed an exophytic lesion made up of proliferated goblet cells with benign cytologic features.
