Vertical Position of the Central Retinal Vessel in the Optic Disc and Its Association With the Site of Visual Field Defects in Glaucoma.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the vertical position of the central retinal vessel (CRV) within the optic nerve head (ONH) and the site of visual field defects (VFDs) in glaucoma.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: The vertical position of the CRV was identified in 134 glaucoma eyes and 61 normal eyes at the point at which CRV exited the lamina cribrosa (LC) onto the ONH surface, by using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (exit position).

Peripapillary choroidal thickness assessed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in normal Japanese.

Purpose: To investigate peripapillary choroidal thickness (PPCT) in normal Japanese subjects by using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) with enhanced depth imaging (EDI) technique and evaluate its association with ocular and systemic factors.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: This study included 85 eyes of 85 normal Japanese subjects.

Nasal displacement of retinal vessels on the optic disc in glaucoma associated with a nasally angled passage through lamina cribrosa.

To investigate nasal displacement of central retinal vessel (CRV) on the optic nerve head (ONH) in glaucoma in association with its passage through lamina cribrosa (LC). This cross-sectional study included 113 eyes with glaucoma and 60 normal eyes. Horizontal spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scans of the ONH were acquired, and point where CRV emerged on the ONH surface was defined as the position of the CRV.

Clinical Assessment of Scleral Canal Area in Glaucoma Using Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography.

Purpose: To investigate anterior scleral canal (ASC) area in the eyes with glaucoma using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT).

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: This study included 206 eyes of 103 patients with glaucoma, classified as 66 eyes of 33 patients with unilateral glaucoma and 140 eyes of 70 patients with bilateral glaucoma.

Differences in Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness as Assessed on the Disc Center and Bruch's Membrane Opening Center in Myopic Eyes.

Purpose: To investigate the difference in circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (cpRNFLT) assessed on the conventional, clinically identified optic disc center and Bruch's membrane opening (BMO) center in myopic eyes.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Participants: One hundred nine eyes of 109 healthy myopic subjects with axial length of 24 mm or more.

Optic Disc Margin Anatomic Features in Myopic Eyes with Glaucoma with Spectral-Domain OCT.

Purpose: To investigate optic disc margin anatomic features in myopic eyes with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) using spectral-domain (SD) OCT.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Participants: Two hundred four eyes of 102 participants with OAG and 106 eyes of 53 participants without glaucoma with axial length of 24 mm or more.
