Practice Guidelines for Ocular Telehealth-Diabetic Retinopathy, Third Edition.

Contributors The following document and appendices represent the third edition of the . These guidelines were developed by the Diabetic Retinopathy Telehealth Practice Guidelines Working Group. This working group consisted of a large number of subject matter experts in clinical applications for telehealth in ophthalmology.

Anterior segment optical coherence tomography: a diagnostic instrument for conjunctivochalasis.

Purpose: To evaluate cross-sectional areas of conjunctivochalasis and tear meniscus using Fourier-Domain RTVue-100 optical coherence tomography (OCT) before and after conjunctival cauterization and to evaluate inter- and intraobserver reliability.

Design: Prospective, nonrandomized, consecutive case study.

Methods: A total of 12 eyes of 7 patients with conjunctivochalasis (aged 56 to 87) were evaluated.

Noninvasive assessment of tear stability with the tear stability analysis system in tear dysfunction patients.

Purpose: To evaluate tear film stability in patients with tear dysfunction and an asymptomatic control group by using the novel, noninvasive Tear Stability Analysis System (TSAS).

Methods: In this prospective case-control study, 45 patients with dysfunctional tear syndrome (DTS) were stratified into three groups (1, 2, and 3/4) based on clinical severity, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms; 25 asymptomatic control subjects were evaluated. TSAS measurements were performed with the RT-7000 Auto Refractor-Keratometer (Tomey Corporation, Nagoya, Japan).
