Article Synopsis
- Pterygium is a benign growth of tissue that can invade the cornea, primarily affecting individuals aged 20-40, with rare occurrences in children.
- A case study is presented involving an infant with Rubenstein-Taybi syndrome who exhibited congenital pterygium and corneal opacity.
- This case adds to the limited literature on congenital pterygium, suggesting that genetic factors may contribute to its development.
Purpose: To analyze FAZ superficial (s) and deep (d) area and dimensions by using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in healthy eyes and to assess effect of age, gender, axial length (AL), central foveal thickness (CFT), and central choroidal thickness (CCT) on FAZ. We aimed to study FAZ dimensions with OCTA in healthy Indian eyes with the purpose of creating a normative database.
Settings And Design: Observational cross-sectional study.
Aim: We aim to find an association between neovascularization (NVn) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).
Methods: In a prospective study, 41 subjects including 28 (68%) males and 13 (32%) females having PDR were examined for neovascularization disc (NVD) and neovascularization elsewhere (NVE) clinically and with fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). A total of 79 eyes were found to be involved.
Objective: The foveal avascular zone (FAZ) is the round capillary-free zone within the macula and is supplied only by a single-layered parafoveal capillary arcade. This study aimed to evaluate the quantitative FAZ and retino-choroidal vessel density (VD) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in a healthy Indian population.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study that was conducted for evaluating the quantitative FAZ and retino-choroidal VD of 200 eyes of 100 healthy Indian subjects, including 62 males and 38 females (age range 17-50 years) having the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of logMAR 0 (20/20; 6/6) and spherical equivalent refractive error of not more than 1 D.
Introduction: Iridofundal colobomas, being developmental defects, are known to be accompanied by several ocular anomalies but an association with vitreous hemorrhage and an intraocular mass has not been reported earlier.
Case: We report a case of an 18 years old subject having iridofundal coloboma in both eyes and an association of vitreous hemorrhage and an intraocular mass in the left eye. The diagnosis was confirmed with a detailed ocular examination, fundus fluorescein angiography, swept-source optical coherence tomography and ultrasonography.
Objective: This study aimed to examine predictors of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) parameters following scleral buckling (SB) surgery for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and to determine the influence of the magnitude of change in qualitative and quantitative parameters on RNFL.
Methods: In an observational prospective study, 40 subjects who underwent successful retinal reattachment with SB surgery done within one month of RRD were evaluated for the parameters of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refractive error, intraocular pressure (IOP), axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), angle opening distance (AOD 500 and AOD 750), trabecular iris surface area (TISA 500 and TISA 750), visual fields, and ganglion cell count (GCC) and RNFL before and three months after SB. We additionally noted qualitative factors like extent, location, and type of buckle; phakic status; and grade of proliferative vitreoretinopathy in the affected eye.
