This paper presents a new SD-OCT outer retinal boundary identification method based on the improved graph-theoretic approach in SD-OCT retinal image, which is robust to the image quality degradation and the pathological morphology variability. The performance of the proposed method was verified using the SD-OCT image database with inherit retinal dystrophies, which suffer from the artifacts most among different macular degeneration diseases. The experimental results of the subjective evaluation indicated that the identification results using the proposed method was substantially improved compared with the current built-in software in the SD-OCT devices.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a temporary metabolic disorder in which small retinal vessels may have experience subtle changes before clinical lesions of the fundus retina appear. An innovative artificial intelligence image processing technology was applied to locate and analyze the small retinal vessel morphology and accurately evaluate the changes of the small retinal vessels in GDM patients and pregnant women with normal blood glucose and non-pregnant women with normal blood glucose.
Methods: The subjects were divided into three groups:GDM group, pregnant control group (PC), and normal control group (NC).
Analysis of retinal sublayers in patients with systemic COVID-19 illness with varying degrees of severity.

COVID-19 infection has been linked to ocular involvement, particularly retinal microvascular changes. Additionally, prolonged hypoxemia may affect retinal sublayers located within the retinal watershed zone. The aim of this study was to evaluate retinal and optic nerve OCT parameters in patients with COVID-19 illness of varying severity and compare them with controls.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop ground-truth histology about contributors to variable fundus autofluorescence (FAF) signal and thus inform patient selection for treating geographic atrophy (GA) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods: One woman with bilateral multifocal GA, foveal sparing, and thick choroids underwent 535 to 580 nm excitation FAF in 6 clinic visits (11 to 6 years before death). The left eye was preserved 5 hours after death.
