Article Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of 3 spectral-domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices (Topcon 3D-1000 [Topcon]; Cirrus HD [Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc], and Spectralis OCT [Heidelberg Engineering]) before and after mydriasis for the diagnosis of diabetic macular edema.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Methods: Sixty-two eyes of 62 consecutive patients with diabetes without recent loss of vision referred for retinal control were assessed. Two scans were performed for each SD OCT instrument. Central retinal thickness was measured before and after pupil dilation. Pupil dynamic was studied using pMetrics pupillometer (iVIS Technologies), and lens opacity was measured by Pentacam densitometry (Oculus). The diagnostic accuracy of SD OCT devices was assessed by sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the effect of pupil size and lens opacity on the reliability of SD OCT in the acquisition of adequate images.
Results: The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the Topcon 3D OCT device was 0.84, that for the Cirrus HD OCT device was 0.93, and that for the Spectralis OCT device was 0.91. Significant differences in area under the receiver operating characteristic curve before and after pupillary dilatation were not found. Sensitivity and specificity associated with the cutoff value for the best performance were 82% and 74% for the Topcon 3D OCT device, 90% and 87% for the Cirrus HD OCT device, and 90% and 84% for the Spectralis OCT device, respectively. The Topcon 3D OCT device had an 11.3% segmentation algorithm failure rate for the central millimeter of the fovea, and the nuclear lens density was significantly greater in these eyes than in those without failure (17.1 ± 1.1 mm vs 10.4 ± 0.2 mm; P < .05).
Conclusions: SD OCT is a useful tool to detect and to measure diabetic macular edema without the need for pupil dilatation.

Esophago-jejunal anastomoses fistula could be mortal. Currently there is a wide therapeutic measure ranging from conservative management, endoscopic therapy and surgery. Endoscopic management has been positioned above other strategies due to minimal invasion which improves survival and reduces mortality.

Background/ Aims: To analyze the longitudinal change in Bruch's membrane opening minimal rim width (BMO-MRW) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness using optical coherence tomography (OCT) after implantation of a PRESERFLO® microshunt for surgical glaucoma management in adult glaucoma patients.
Methods: Retrospective data analysis of 59 eyes of 59 participants undergoing implantation of a PRESERFLO microshunt between 2019 and 2022 at a tertiary center for glaucoma management. Surgical management included primary temporary occlusion of the glaucoma shunt to prevent early hypotony.

Extensive research on retinal layer segmentation (RLS) using deep learning (DL) is mostly approaching a performance plateau, primarily due to reliance on structural information alone. To address the present situation, we conduct the first study on the impact of multi-spectral information (MSI) on RLS. Our experimental results show that incorporating MSI significantly improves segmentation accuracy for retinal layer optical coherence tomography (OCT) images.

The impact of various neurodegenerative diseases on the retina has been investigated in recent years using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Epilepsy, classified as a neurodegenerative disorder, has been indicated to affect the structural integrity of the retina. Moreover, there is ongoing debate regarding the relative contribution of disease pathogenesis and the consumption of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) to these retinal changes.
