Optical coherence tomography study of adult vitelliform macular detachment in a patient with basal laminar drusen.

To report the morphological data of adult vitelliform macular detachment in a patient with basal laminar drusen using optical coherence tomography (OCT-3) as an observational case report. A 70-year-old man presented with adult vitelliform macular detachment and basal laminar drusen underwent fundus biomicroscopy, fundus fluorescein angiography and OCT-3. Fundus examination showed bilateral yellow subretinal macula deposits with associated basal laminar drusen.

The ChromaTest, a digital color contrast sensitivity analyzer, for diabetic maculopathy: a pilot study.

Background: To assess the ability of the Chromatest in investigating diabetic maculopathy.

Method: Patients with Type 2 diabetes and no concurrent ocular pathology or previous laser photocoagulation were recruited. Visual acuities were assessed followed by colour contrast sensitivity testing of each eye using Chromatest.

Two retinal vein occlusions in a patient with venous tortuosity at the optic disc.

Background: The aetiology of occlusion is thought to differ for branch retinal vein and central retinal vein types. This communication reports on an unusual presentation of two retinal vein occlusions in one eye of a patient with optic disc tortuosity where the occlusion was thought to occur at a site usually seen in central retinal vein occlusion.

Methods: An 88-year-old woman presented with sudden-onset painless loss of central vision.

In vivo demonstration of the anatomic differences between classic and occult choroidal neovascularization using optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To determine architectural differences between classic and occult choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in vivo.

Design: Prospective observational case series.

Methods: Twenty-two patients with acute CNV underwent fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT), which were analyzed by separate blinded observers.

POCOman: new system for quantifying posterior capsule opacification.

Purpose: To describe a new method of measuring posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and intraocular lens (IOL) rotation and report the validation of the method.

Setting: Ophthalmology Department, St. Thomas' Hospital, and Medical Imaging, Department of Physics, King's College, London, United Kingdom.
