Objectives: To investigate the association of optic nerve head (ONH) swelling in the acute uveitic phase of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease with blood flow velocity in the choroid and ONH and oxygen saturation and diameter of retinal vessels.
Methods: In this prospective study, 25 patients (50 eyes) were studied. Thirteen patients (26 eyes) had ONH swelling and 12 patients (24 eyes) had no ONH swelling. Laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) and retinal oximetry measurements were performed at presentation.
Results: In the ONH, mean blur rate (MBR)-vessel, representing blood flow velocity in retinal vessels, was significantly lower in the eyes affected by ONH swelling, while choroidal MBR was not significantly different. Eyes with ONH swelling had a significantly lower oxygen saturation in retinal venules, a significantly higher arteriovenous oxygen saturation difference and a significantly smaller calibre of retinal arterioles compared with eyes without ONH swelling. There were significant positive correlations between the MBR-vessel of the ONH and venular oxygen saturation and calibre of retinal arterioles. In addition, MBR-vessel of the ONH had a significant negative correlation with arteriovenous oxygen saturation difference.
Conclusions: The occurrence of ONH swelling in the acute uveitic phase of VKH disease is associated with lower retinal blood flow velocity and smaller calibre of retinal arterioles as well as lower oxygen saturation in retinal venules and higher arteriovenous difference in oxygen saturation.

: To report a patient with choroidal bulging, sub-retinal fluid, and optic nerve head (ONH) swelling who was finally diagnosed with focal nodular posterior scleritis. : A 51-year-old male patient presented to us with acute painful visual loss of his left eye (LE) from 3 days ago. The best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) was 20/20 and hand motion (HM) for the right eye (RE) and LE, respectively.

Purpose: To investigate some diagnostic indicators in optic nerve head (ONH) analysis of children with 'Pseudopapilledema' and 'Papilledema' by Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT).
Methods: Medical records of 52 children with optic disc swelling, who were followed up by the departments of pediatric neurology and ophthalmology between May 2018 and May 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Cases were classified as group 1 (Papilledema secondary to Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension) including 54 eyes of 27 cases, group 2 (Pseudopapilledema secondary to bilateral optic disc drusen) including 50 eyes of 25 cases and control group.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of intravitreal aflibercept (IVA) and intravitreal faricimab (IVF) injections on the blood flow of retinal vessels in the peripapillary region and optic nerve head (ONH) in eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) using laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG).
Patients And Methods: This study included 20 eyes of 18 patients treated with IVA and 15 eyes of 11 patients treated with IVF for DME. The mean blur rate (MBR) of the ONH and retinal artery and vein of the peripapillary region were measured using LSFG at baseline and 1 month after injection.

Purpose: To determine the characteristics of peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) in patients with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and in normal adults.
Methods: A total of 406 included eyes were divided into four groups: acute NAION group, chronic NAION group, unaffected group, and normal eyes group. PHOMS were detected on optical coherence tomography slices from optical coherence tomography angiography scans centered on the optic nerve head (ONH).
