The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of haemodialysis on perfused vessel density, choroidal thickness (CT), and retinal thickness in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA). We studied twenty-nine eyes of 29 ESRD patients by ophthalmologic examination and SS-OCTA before and after haemodialysis. The colour-coded perfusion density maps were generated and perfused vessel density was calculated.

Methods: Subjects included 35 eyes for the PASCAL group and 49 eyes for a control group. Peripapillary RNFL thickness, cup-disc area ratio and CMT were measured before PASCAL photocoagulation and at 2 and 6 months after PASCAL photocoagulation in the PASCAL or control groups.
Purpose: To measure the maximum angle of ocular versions using photographs of the 9 cardinal positions and a modified limbus test.
Design: An evaluation of diagnostic technology; a prospective observational study.
Participants: We enrolled 104 healthy subjects, 20 to 40 years of age.
Purpose: To report retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) volume measurement using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). We determined the characteristics and effecting factors of the RNFL volume in healthy eyes.
Methods: Eighty-six eyes from 86 healthy volunteers were included.
