Background: Conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is the most common tumor of the ocular surface and is a precursor to invasive squamous cell carcinoma. CIN comprises a spectrum of premalignant epithelial neoplasia that usually begins near the limbus and spreads to the cornea.
Methods: This case report reviews the clinical findings and management of CIN, with a discussion of the histopathology and etiology of this tumor.
Purpose: To assess the effect of cataract on optical coherence tomography (OCT), signal strength (SS), and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measurements.
Methods: Peripapillary RNFL thickness measurements were obtained by Stratus OCT scans using the Fast RNFL thickness (3.4) acquisition protocol before and after cataract extraction in 45 patients with cataract, including 23 glaucoma patients.
Characteristics of optic nerve head drusen on optical coherence tomography images.
Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging
March 2010
Background And Objective: To describe the characteristics of optic nerve head drusen in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images.
Patients And Methods: Cross-sectional images of the optic nerve were obtained in seven patients with optic nerve head drusen with Stratus and spectral-domain OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA). These were compared to optic disc photographs, autofluorescence, and echography images.
Purpose: Frequency-doubling technology (FDT) perimetry has shown promise as a screening test for glaucoma. This study investigates different possible decision rules for FDT screening by applying them to groups of normal and glaucoma subjects.
Methods: Within three centers, 218 subjects (aged 15-88 years; 78 with glaucoma, 140 without ocular disease) were each tested twice with the screening program of the FDT perimeter.
Background: The efficacy, ease of use, and favorable side effect profile has increased the popularity of the prostaglandin analogs for topical treatment of a variety of glaucoma types. We undertook a cost analysis study of all the prostaglandin analogs.
Methods: Mean number of drops per bottle, mean drop volume, total bottle volume, percent overfill per bottle, mean national bottle cost, daily cost of therapy, and yearly cost of therapy were calculated for all four of the prostaglandin analogs.
