Long term effects on the lowering of intraocular pressure: selective laser or argon laser trabeculoplasty?

Objective: Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) are used to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG). We report long-term follow-up data comparing SLT to ALT.

Design: Follow-up of prospective randomized clinical trial.

Effect of eccentric and inconsistent fixation on retinal optical coherence tomography measures.

Objective: To assess the relative stabilities of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based retinal volume and central foveal thickness measurements in the setting of eccentric or inconsistent fixation.

Methods: Ten healthy right eyes underwent multiple macular OCT centered at fixation. To model the effect of eccentric or inconsistent fixation, OCT was repeated with scan centers precisely shifted by 0.

Optimal optical coherence tomography-based measures in the diagnosis of clinically significant macular edema: retinal volume vs foveal thickness.

Objective: To compare optical coherence tomography-based measures of retinal thickness and volume as quantitative tests for clinically significant macular edema (CSME).

Design: Diagnostic validation study.

Methods: Sixty-five eyes with diabetic retinopathy underwent stereo photographic and optical coherence tomographic examination.
