Purpose: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis can have debilitating impacts on quality of life (QOL), but few contemporary studies have characterized these ramifications. This study assessed the impact of CMV retinitis on vision-related QOL for those living with HIV/AIDS in Thailand.
Methods: QOL was assessed as part of a prospective interventional cohort study of patients referred to a tertiary hospital in Thailand for CMV retinitis screening.
Purpose To compare the quality of optic nerve photographs from three different handheld fundus cameras and to assess the reproducibility and agreement of vertical cup-to-disk ratio (VCDR) measurements from each camera. Methods Adult patients from a comprehensive ophthalmology clinic and an intravitreous injection clinic in northern Thailand were recruited for this cross-sectional study. Each participant had optic nerve photography performed with each of 3 handheld cameras: the Volk iNview, Volk Pictor Plus, and Peek Retina.
