The Effect of Yellow Filter Use on Standard Automated Perimetry and Contrast Sensitivity in Healthy Individuals.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of two yellow filters (category 1: visible light transmission {VLT} from 80% to 43%) of Essilor (Kiros® and Lumior®) on standard automated perimetry (SAP) indices and Pelli-Robson (PR) contrast sensitivity (CS) testing in healthy individuals. Materials and methods This study is a prospective comparative study of 31 eyes of 31 healthy individuals aged 32.14 (8.

Blind spot enlargement: A differential diagnosis challenge.

A 39-year-old woman, without any systemic or ocular history, presented with a paracentral scotoma in her right eye with normal visual acuity.

Comparison of Diagnostic Ability Between Wide-Field Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging Maps and Heidelberg Retina Tomograph 3 Optic Nerve Head Assessment to Discriminate Glaucomatous and Non-glaucomatous Eyes.

Background In this study, we aimed to determine the diagnostic performance of optic nerve head (ONH), macular, and circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) thickness measurements of wide-field maps (12 × 9 mm) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) compared to measurements of the ONH and RNFL parameters measured by Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT3). Methodology This case-control study included 39 eyes of 39 glaucoma patients and 36 eyes of 36 normal subjects (control group). All participants underwent standard automated perimetry (SAP) as well as structural measurements by SS-OCT (DRI-OCT, Triton; Topcon Inc.

An Unexpected Outcome of Good Vision After a Penetrating Corneal Trauma by a Bayonet.

Ocular trauma is a major cause of visual impairment. Corneal injuries can range from minor and insignificant to major and vision-threatening. This report describes the case of a healthy 21-year-old soldier who presented to the emergency department with a major ocular trauma to his left eye caused by a bayonet.

Keratoconus with Central Serous Chorioretinopathy: A Rare Combination.

Keratoconus and central serous chorioretinopathy are two rare diseases. They can occur together in some individuals. We report a case of a 48-year-old man, who presented to our clinic with decreased visual acuity on his left eye.
