Macular ganglion cell layer imaging in preperimetric glaucoma with speckle noise-reduced spectral domain optical coherence tomography.

Objective: To visualize the macular ganglion cell layer (GCL) and measure its thickness in normal eyes and eyes with preperimetric glaucoma, using speckle noise-reduced spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Design: Retrospective consecutive case series.

Participants: Thirty-seven eyes of 37 patients with preperimetric glaucoma and 39 normal eyes of 39 volunteers.

Three-dimensional imaging of macular inner structures in glaucoma by using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To profile macular thickness changes in glaucoma by using three-dimensional spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (3D-SD-OCT).

Methods: The study included 30 eyes with suspected glaucoma and preperimetric glaucoma (SGPPG) and 35 healthy eyes. The macular thickness, including those of the total retina, nerve fiber layer (NFL), and combined inner retinal layers (IRLs)-NFL+ganglion cell layer (GCL)+inner plexiform layer (IPL)-was measured by 3D-SD-OCT raster scans in a 6 mm(2) region.

Three-dimensional imaging of the macular retinal nerve fiber layer in glaucoma with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To investigate the three-dimensional (3D), spectral-domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (3D,SD-OCT) imaging of the macular retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in eyes with glaucoma.

Methods: The study included 38 eyes of 38 patients with glaucoma and 38 normal eyes of 38 volunteers. With a 3D raster scan SD-OCT protocol, 512 × 128 axial scans were acquired over a 6-mm(2) area of the macula.

Serous retinal detachment associated with retinal vein occlusion.

Purpose: To study the pathomorphology of serous retinal detachment (RD) associated with retinal vein occlusion by optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Design: Retrospective chart review.

Methods: Ninety-one eyes of 91 patients with macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion had undergone a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination, including measurement by spectral-domain OCT.

Comparison of spectral domain optical coherence tomography and color photographic imaging of the optic nerve head in management of glaucoma.

Background And Objective: Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) allows three-dimensional imaging of the optic disc. The objective of this study was to compare optic disc and cup margins between fundus photographs and SD-OCT.

Patients And Methods: Eighteen eyes with glaucoma were examined by a custom-built SD-OCT OCT fundus images were used to register fundus photographs and SD-OCT volume.

Evaluation of potential visual acuity in eyes with macular oedema secondary to retinal vein occlusion.

Purpose: To evaluate the potential visual acuity (VA) of eyes with macular oedema (MO) associated with retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

Methods: Thirty-one eyes of 31 patients with MO associated with RVO were examined and then treated with an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab. Of these 31 eyes, 22 showed complete resolution of the MO at 1 month after treatment, at which time potential VA was determined; 12 eyes had good function and 10 had poor function at this time.

Retinal sensitivity after intravitreal injection of bevacizumab for the treatment of macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion.

Purpose: To evaluate the change in macular function after intravitreal injection of bevacizumab for the treatment of macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion.

Methods: For this interventional case series, 20 eyes of 20 patients with macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion were treated with an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab. Microperimetry in the macular area was performed with a Micro Perimeter 1 before and at 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment.

Three-dimensional high-speed optical coherence tomography imaging of lamina cribrosa in glaucoma.

Objective: To evaluate the appearance of the optic nerve head and lamina cribrosa in patients with glaucoma using spectral/Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and to test for a correlation between lamina cribrosa thickness measured on SD-OCT images and visual field loss.

Design: Observational case series.

Participants: We evaluated 52 eyes of 30 patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Integrity of foveal photoreceptor layer in central retinal vein occlusion.

Purpose: To study the correlation between final visual acuity and integrity of the foveal photoreceptor layer after resolution of macular edema (ME) associated with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

Methods: We studied retrospectively 27 eyes of 27 patients with resolved ME associated with central retinal vein occlusion. On optical coherence tomography, integrity of the foveal photoreceptor layer was studied using the junctions between inner and outer segments of the photoreceptor (IS/OS) line as a hallmark.

Foveal photoreceptor layer in eyes with persistent cystoid macular edema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion.

Purpose: To study the correlation of visual acuity and the foveal photoreceptor layer in eyes with persistent cystoid macular edema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).

Design: Retrospective chart review.

Methods: We studied retrospectively the medical records of 42 eyes of 42 patients with persistent cystoid macular edema secondary to BRVO, eyes in which the foveal thickness was greater than 250 microm at final examination.

Three-dimensional imaging of cystoid macular edema in retinal vein occlusion.

Objective: To study the pathomorphologic features of cystoid macular edema (CME) associated with retinal vein occlusion by three-dimensional (3D) optical coherence tomography (OCT) and to study the relationship of the ocular findings to visual function.

Design: Observational case series.

Participants: Twenty eyes of 20 patients with retinal vein occlusion.
