Wide-Field Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Analysis of Interocular Symmetry of Choroidal Thickness in Healthy Young Individuals.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper was to study the bilateral choroidal thickness (CT) symmetry and differences in healthy individuals using wide-field swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Methods: All participants underwent a wide-field 16-mm 1-line scan using SS-OCT. CTs were measured at the following 12 points: 3 points at 900 µm, 1800 µm, and 2700 µm away from the nasal optic disc margin (nasal peripapillary area), 1 point at the subfovea, 6 points at 900 µm, 1800 µm, and 2700 µm away from the subfovea to the nasal and temporal areas (macular area), and 2 peripheral points at 2700 and 5400 µm from temporal point 3 (peripheral area).

Repeatability of measuring the vessel density in patients with retinal vein occlusion: An optical coherence tomography angiography study.

Purpose: To determine the repeatability of superficial vessel density measurements using Spectral domain Ocular coherence tomography angiography(SD-OCTA) in patients diagnosed with retinal vein occlusion(RVO).

Design: Prospective observational study.

Subjects: Patients who visited our retinal clinic from August 2017 to August 2018, diagnosed with RVO were recruited for the study.

A comparison of choroidal thicknesses between pachychoroid and normochoroid eyes acquired from wide-field swept-source OCT.

Purpose: We investigated the wide-field choroidal thickness (CT) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and compared the characteristics of the choroidal layer between pachychoroid and normochoroid groups.

Methods: A total of 120 eyes from 120 normal subjects were included. All subjects were divided into two groups according to the subfoveal CT (≥300 μm, pachychoroid group; <300μm, normochoroid group).

Long-term results of focal laser photocoagulation and photodynamic therapy for the treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term results of focal laser photocoagulation and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

Study Design: Retrospective chart review.

Methods: Sixty-two patients with CSC, thirty-three of whom were treated with focal laser photocoagulation, and 29 with PDT and who were followed up for > 6 months, were enrolled.

Factors Affecting Repeatability of Assessment of the Retinal Microvasculature Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Healthy Subjects.

Various factors can affect repeatability of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) measurements, and they have not been studied sufficiently. We aimed to investigate the factors associated with the repeatability of automated superficial retinal vessel density (VD) and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) metrics acquired from OCTA. A total of 141 normal eyes from 141 healthy subjects were included, and two consecutive macular 6 × 6-mm angiography scans were performed.

Longitudinal changes in the thickness of the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer in patients with hypertension: a 4-year prospective observational study.

Purpose: Hypertension (HTN) is expected to accelerate age-related ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness (GC-IPLs) reduction, but there is limited information on the reduction rate of GC-IPLs in HTN patients. We investigate longitudinal changes in the thickness of GC-IPL in patients with HTN.

Methods: We performed a prospective, longitudinal and observational study design.

Changes in Ganglion Cell-Inner Plexiform Layer Thickness and Retinal Microvasculature in Hypertension: An Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Study.

Purpose: To investigate retinal blood flow in patients with hypertension using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and the relationship between blood flow metrics and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) thickness.

Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional study.

Methods: A total of 201 eyes from 117 healthy subjects and 84 hypertensive patients without any ocular abnormalities were included.

Longitudinal Changes of Retinal Thicknesses in Branch Retinal Artery Occlusion: Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Study.

Purpose: To analyze longitudinal thickness changes in the overall macula, ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL), and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO).

Methods: A prospective analysis was conducted in patients with BRAO. The thicknesses of the overall macula, GC-IPL, and pRNFL were measured at the initial visit, and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.

Repeatability of vessel density measurements using optical coherence tomography angiography in retinal diseases.

Aim: To analyse the repeatability of vessel density (VD) measurements using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients with retinal diseases.

Methods: Two consecutive VD measurements using OCTA were analysed prospectively in patients with retinal diseases (diabetic macular oedema (DME), retinal vein occlusion (RVO) with macular oedema, epiretinal membrane (ERM), wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD)). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), coefficient of variation (CV) and test-retest SD of VD measurements were assessed, and linear regression analyses were conducted to identify factors related to repeatability.
