Purpose: To report retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) volume measurement using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). We determined the characteristics and effecting factors of the RNFL volume in healthy eyes.
Methods: Eighty-six eyes from 86 healthy volunteers were included. All participants underwent 3D-disc scanning using SD-OCT. We developed a computer program using Matlab software to extract RNFL thickness values from colored topographic RNFL thickness map. Total average, quadrant, and clock-hour RNFL volume were automatically calculated between 2.5 and 5 mm diameter circles using the length, width, and height of each pixel derived from the RNFL thickness map.
Results: The mean total RNFL volume was 1.478±0.124 mm and RNFL volume profiles showed double-hump patterns. RNFL volumes of superior and inferior quadrants were significantly greater than those of temporal and nasal quadrants (all P<0.001). A strong correlation existed between RNFL volume and conventional circumpapillary RNFL thickness measured by built-in software (R=0.895 to 0.972). Image quality and age were associated with RNFL volume measurement.
Conclusions: RNFL volume measurement from RNFL thickness map analysis provides an alternative approach to characterizing and evaluating RNFL. RNFL volume measurement may be valuable for the objective and quantitative evaluation of 3-dimensional RFNL changes.

Background: To elucidate the biological mechanisms underpinning the association between macular Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) thickness and cognitive function in older adults, this study investigates its correlation with brain volume and cortical thickness.
Method: From a community-dwelling prospective cohort, we included 166 non-demented participants aged over 65 years (mean age 75.2 ± 5.
Machine Learning Quantification of Fluid Volume in Eyes With Retinal Vein Occlusion Treated With Aflibercept: The REVOLT Study.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how ischemia, retinal fluid, and layer thickness impact visual acuity (VA) in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT).
- Patients received aflibercept injections and were monitored through OCT analysis at baseline and after 3 and 6 months, correlating OCT findings with changes in best-corrected VA (BCVA).
- Results showed that a combination of intraretinal fluid (IRF) volume, thickness measurements in specific retinal layers, and ischemic indices had the strongest correlation with changes in VA, highlighting useful clinical markers for RVO management.

Purpose: The relationship between retinal morphology, as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT), and retinal function in microperimetry (MP) has not been well studied, despite its increasing importance as an essential functional endpoint for clinical trials and emerging therapies in retinal diseases. Normative databases of healthy ageing eyes are largely missing from literature.
Methods: Healthy subjects above 50 years were examined using two MP devices, MP-3 (NIDEK) and MAIA (iCare).

Objective: Parkinson's disease is the second most common disease of the central nervous system after Alzheimer's disease. Currently, no blood test or other laboratory tests are available to diagnose this condition. One of the practical methods in diagnosing and evaluating the progress of neurodegenerative diseases is the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT), with which it is possible to accurately measure the thickness of the layers of the retina, as well as the thickness and volume of the macula.

Purpose: Optical coherence tomography (OCT)-derived measurements of the optic nerve head (ONH) from different devices are not interchangeable. This poses challenges to patient follow-up and collaborative studies. Here, we present a device-agnostic method for the extraction of OCT biomarkers using artificial intelligence.
