Purpose: To describe findings in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for four patients with acute foveal photoreceptor damage.
Case Report: Four patients with acute foveal photoreceptor damage were evaluated by color photography and SD-OCT during follow-up. All four cases were Japanese patients with high myopia. Three were women aged 28, 29, and 46 years and one was a boy aged 17 years. The follow-up ranged from 2 weeks to 3 months. On presentation, four eyes had orange-yellow foveal granularity with visual acuities that varied from 1.2 to 0.5. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography revealed a disrupted photoreceptor layer. All patients achieved spontaneous resolution without treatment within a few months. Of the four eyes, only one had recurrence of the disease.
Conclusions: Lesions exhibiting orange-yellow foveal granularity characteristic of these four cases corresponded to hyperreflective localized photoreceptor lesions on SD-OCT. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography was useful for detecting an acute disruption and a resolution of the photoreceptor layer in the fovea.

Purpose: To compare a novel high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) with improved axial resolution (High-Res OCT) with conventional spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) with regard to their capacity to characterize the disorganization of the retinal inner layers (DRIL) in diabetic maculopathy.
Methods: Diabetic patients underwent multimodal retinal imaging (SD-OCT, High-Res OCT, and color fundus photography). Best-corrected visual acuity and diabetes characteristics were recorded.

This report describes a patient with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) with fovea-involving retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tear that showed tissue remodeling with a good visual outcome. Imaging over the patient's clinical course from 2019 was reviewed. A 74-year-old female presented with left submacular hemorrhage and a large multi-lobular pigment epithelial detachment.

Methods: Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scans were conducted on 22 DME patients and 20 RVO patients. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression was employed to analyze the association between VA and the presence of the foveal bulge, as well as factors such as sex, age, central foveal thickness, various line scans of the fovea, and the external limiting membrane (ELM).

Comparison of a Scheimpflug Camera and Optical Coherence Tomography in Evaluating Keratoconic Eyes Post Keratoplasty.

The aim of this retrospective study was to compare corneal parameters and compliance using a Pentacam HR-Scheimpflug (Pentacam HR) and a swept-source OCT Casia (Casia) in keratoconus (KC) patients post penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) and KC patients without PKP, as well as a control group. Pachymetry measurements were also analyzed using a spectral domain OCT Solix (OCT Solix), Pentacam HR, and Casia. The study included 71 patients (136 keratoconic eyes; group A), 86 eyes with KC post-PKP (group B), 50 eyes with KC without PKP (group C), and 52 control participants (104 eyes).
