Recent advances in imaging technologies for assessment of retinal diseases.

Introduction: Retinal imaging is a key investigation in ophthalmology. New devices continue to be created to keep up with the demand for better imaging modalities in this field. This review looks to highlight current trends and the future of retinal imaging.

Enlargement of the foveal avascular zone detected by optical coherence tomography angiography in diabetic children without diabetic retinopathy.

Purpose: Evaluation of foveal avascular zone (FAZ) in children with diabetes (DM) using OCTA.

Methods: We examined 112 diabetic children without DR aged 6-18 years and 30 age-matched controls using Topcon OCT Angiography and measured FAZ in superficial (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP). The study group was divided into three subgroups depending on DM duration group 1: < 5 years (n = 40), group 2: 5-10 years (n = 42), group 3: > 10 years (n = 30).

Recommendations for ultrasound examination in ophthalmology. Part II: Orbital ultrasound.

Pathological processes within the orbits are a heterogeneous group of diseases of various etiologies, clinical pictures and therapy models. Due to poor access to the orbits in a clinical examination, imaging plays a significant role in both diagnosis and treatment monitoring in patients with an orbital pathology. One of such imaging modalities is ultrasonography.

Sex-Related Variations of Retinal and Choroidal Thickness and Foveal Avascular Zone in Healthy and Diabetic Children Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging.

Purpose Of The Study: The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of gender differences in the chorioretinal microvasculature of children with and without vascular pathology.

Methods: Healthy and type 1 diabetic children without diabetic retinopathy underwent optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and structural OCT. We measured the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area in the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep CP (DCP), central retina, and choroid thickness.

DETERMINING THE EFFECT OF DIABETES DURATION ON RETINAL AND CHOROIDAL THICKNESSES IN CHILDREN WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES MELLITUS.

Purpose: Determining the effect of diabetes mellitus duration on retinal and choroidal thicknesses in children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

Methods: Children (aged 6-18 years) with Type 1 diabetes and no diabetic retinopathy and age-matched controls were examined using Topcon spectral domain optical coherence tomography. Choroidal thickness and retinal thickness in macula area were measured.

Rubeosis iridis in patients with diabetes: not forgetting oculoischaemic syndrome as a differential.

This case illustrates an oculoischaemic syndrome presenting with iris neovascularisation in a patient with established diabetic retinopathy. It highlights the importance of considering the differential diagnosis of rubeosis in all patients, including those with an underlying vascular pathology. Moreover, it urges clinicians to consider the sequelae of a compromised vascular system, such as the iatrogenic central retinal artery occlusion as a result of intravitreal injections.
