Background And Objectives: To describe posterior segment distortions in Optos ultra-widefield images (Optos 200TX; Optos, Dunfermline, United Kingdom) compared to Topcon retinal camera images (Topcon, Tokyo, Japan) using optic disc dimensions and exploring a proposed method for correcting these distortions.

Patients And Methods: Comparative image analysis study on 20 eyes with color fundus images from Optos and Topcon. A model eye with vertical and horizontal grids imaged with Optos in the conventional position and rotated 90° was analyzed.

Results: Mean vertical-to-horizontal disc diameter ratios were 0.956 [95% CI, 0.919-0.993] for Optos and 1.083 [95% CI, 1.045-1.121] for Topcon (P < .001). This was 0.910 in the conventional position and 1.072 with the object rotated 90° for the model eye with Optos and 1.008 and 0.999, respectively, using Topcon. The average of the measurements taken using both images from Optos yielded a ratio of 0.987.

Conclusion: Optos incorporates a consistent horizontal stretch to images. Combining images taken at right angles reduces the distortion. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2016;47:644-651.].

Purpose: To compare the assessment of clinically relevant retinal and choroidal lesions as well as optic nerve pathologies using a novel three-wavelength ultra-widefield (UWF) scanning laser ophthalmoscope with established retinal imaging techniques for ophthalmoscopic imaging.

Methods: Eighty eyes with a variety of retinal and choroidal lesions were assessed on the same time point using Topcon color fundus photography (CFP) montage, Optos red/green (RG), Heidelberg SPECTRALIS MultiColor 55-color montage (MCI), and novel Optos red/green/blue (RGB). Paired images of the optic nerve, retinal, or choroidal lesions were initially diagnosed based on CFP imaging.

: Lesions characterized as complete retinal pigment epithelium and outer retinal atrophy (cRORA) are linked to the progression of intermediate age-related macular degeneration (iAMD). However, the extent of functional impairment of such precursor lesions remains uncertain. : In this cross-sectional study, 4 participants (mean age ± standard deviation: 71.

Purpose: A projection-resolved optical coherence tomography angiography (PR-OCTA) algorithm with slab-specific strategy was applied in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) to differentiate between polyp and branching vascular network (BVN) and improve polyp detection by en face OCTA.

Methods: Twenty-nine participants diagnosed with PCV by indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and 30 participants diagnosed with typical neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) were enrolled. Polyps were classified into three categories after using the slab-specific PR algorithm.

Purpose: To quantify outer retina structural changes and define novel biomarkers of inherited retinal degeneration associated with biallelic mutations in RPE65 (RPE65-IRD) in patients before and after subretinal gene augmentation therapy with voretigene neparvovec (Luxturna).

Methods: Application of advanced deep learning for automated retinal layer segmentation, specifically tailored for RPE65-IRD. Quantification of five novel biomarkers for the ellipsoid zone (EZ): thickness, granularity, reflectivity, and intensity.

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.
