Purpose: This study reports the combination of noncontact tonometry and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in mass glaucoma screening in the Lebanese population.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included Lebanese individuals who participated in a glaucoma screening campaign in March 2018 and March 2019 for World Glaucoma Week. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured by noncontact tonometry.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how the consumption of Red Bull (which contains taurine and caffeine) affects choroidal thickness in healthy volunteers.
- Using advanced imaging techniques, researchers measured the subfoveal choroidal thickness before and after drinking Red Bull.
- Results showed a significant temporary decrease in choroidal thickness 1 hour after drinking, especially in individuals with initially thicker choroids, with measurements returning to baseline by 4 hours.
Objectives: To collect information about the retinal blood flow variations and other choroidal and retinal parameters during a prolonged effort such as marathon running.
Design: Non-randomized prospective cohort study.
Methods: Patients were recruited through an information campaign at the Rothschild Foundation Hospital (Paris, France).
Purpose: Numerous small hyperreflective dots (HRDs) can be seen within the hyporeflective layer between the ellipsoid zone (EZ) and the interdigitation zone (IZ) on C-scan spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) with a yet unknown variation under light conditions. The aim of this study was to explore light-induced SD-OCT changes in these HRDs.
Methods: The study subjects were randomly assigned to two groups: Group 1 experienced a dark adaptation protocol followed by intense retinal photobleaching, while Group 2, serving as the control group, was exposed to constant ambient light without any variation.
