Foveal thickness between stratus and spectralis optical coherence tomography in retinal diseases.

Purpose: To compare the foveal thickness (FT) parameters measured by Stratus optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Spectralis OCT in various retinal diseases and to construct conversion formulas between the two types of OCT devices.

Methods: We examined 366 consecutive patients (475 eyes) with retinal diseases and 13 normal controls (13 eyes). The patients were categorized into eight retinal disease groups.

Acute-onset bilateral myopia and ciliochoroidal effusion induced by hydrochlorothiazide.

The authors experienced two cases of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ)-induced acute-onset bilateral myopia and shallowing of the anterior chambers. Two middle-aged women taking HCTZ, a sulfa derivative, visited our clinic complaining of acute bilateral visual deterioration. Both had good visual acuity without corrective lenses before taking HCTZ.

Intraocular lens power calculation using IOLMaster and various formulas in short eyes.

Purpose: To evaluate the predictability of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations using the IOLMaster and four different IOL power calculation formulas (Haigis, Hoffer Q, SRK II, and SRK/T) for cataract surgery in eyes with a short axial length (AL).

Methods: The present study was a retrospective comparative analysis which included 25 eyes with an AL shorter than 22.0 mm that underwent uneventful phacoemulsification with IOL implantation from July 2007 to December 2008 at Seoul National University Boramae Hospital.

Pulmonary tuberculosis associated retinal vasculitis presenting as xanthopsia.

Purpose: To report a patient presenting with unilateral xanthopsia who was diagnosed as having retinal vasculitis with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Design: A case report.

Methods: A 20-year-old man presented with xanthopsia in the right eye.

Comparison of subjective and objective torsion in patients with acquired unilateral superior oblique muscle palsy.

Background: To compare objective torsion, measured using fundus photography, and subjective torsion, measured with the Lancaster red-green test (LRGT) or double Maddox rod test (DMRT), in patients with acquired unilateral superior oblique palsy (SOP).

Methods: Full ophthalmic examinations, including the alternate prism and cover test, ductions/versions, three-step test, LRGT, DMRT and fundus photography, were performed in 35 consecutive patients (28 men and 7 women) (mean age, 50.4 ± 16.
