Article Synopsis
  • Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a serious complication in COVID-19 patients, with a study showing it occurred in 2.31% of hospitalized patients, primarily affecting older individuals with existing health issues.
  • The study analyzed 693 COVID-19 patients from April 2020 to February 2021, revealing that many AIS cases arose within the first 24 hours, led by total anterior circulation infarction and cardioembolic causes.
  • Patients with AIS had a higher prevalence of hypertension and heart disease, with a significant mortality rate, highlighting the need for awareness and monitoring for stroke risks in COVID-19 cases, particularly in older adults.

Purpose: To compare measurements of the thickness of the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) and assess the agreement between three different devices for spectral domain optical coherence tomography.

Material And Methods: The RNFL thickness of both eyes of 23 normal subjects older than 40 years was measured using Canon HS100, Topcon Maestro, and NIDEK RS-3000 devices. Both eyes of each subject were scanned in random order.
