Purpose: To assess the clinical resolution capacities of a novel high-resolution optical coherence tomography (High-Res OCT).
Methods: Eight healthy volunteers were included in this observational study. Using the SPECTRALIS High-Res OCT device (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg) macular b-scans were taken and compared with b-scans acquired with a SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT device (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg). High-Res OCT scans were also compared with hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections from a human donor retina.
Results: High-Res OCT allowed identification of several retinal structures at the cellular and subcellular levels, namely, cell nuclei of ganglion cells, displaced amacrine cells, cone photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelial cells compared with the commercial device. Rod photoreceptor nuclei were partially detectable. Localization of cell type-specific nuclei were confirmed by histological sections of human donor retina. Additionally, all three plexus of the retinal vasculature could be visualized.
Conclusions: SPECTRALIS High-Res OCT device provides improved resolution compared with the conventional SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT device and allows to identify structures at the cellular level, similar to histological sections.
Translational Relevance: High-Res OCT shows improved visualization of retinal structures in healthy individuals and can be used to assess individual cells within the retina.

Purpose: To comprehensively evaluate the tilt of the crystalline lens in phakic eyes and its relationship with optical biometry parameters.
Setting: The retrospective analysis was conducted at the Department for Ophthalmology and Optometry, Kepler University Clinic in Linz, Austria.
Design: Lens tilt assessment was performed through a combined analysis of optical biometry (IOL Master 700) and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) data to understand its relationship.
Characterization of the Disorganization of the Inner Retinal Layers in Diabetics Using Increased Axial Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography.

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.

Article Synopsis
- The paper focuses on understanding the benefits of recreational ecosystem services (RES) in Germany, highlighting the increase in interest but limited insights at larger scales beyond local communities.
- It employs a model to analyze the supply and demand of RES, revealing specific areas with strong or weak matches between user preferences and available services, especially around population centers.
- The findings provide valuable information for planning and decision-making, suggesting better approaches for destination management, landscape development, and investments in RES across various levels of governance.*
New high-resolution prototype versus standard spectralis optical coherence tomography in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy.

Purpose: To assess the accuracy of High-Resolution OCT in detecting biomarkers associated with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) compared to standard OCT.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving CSC patients who underwent High-Resolution and standard OCT during the same visit. Using the SPECTRALIS High-Res OCT device (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany), macular B-scans were obtained and compared with those acquired using a SPECTRALIS HRA + OCT device (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany).

Purpose: In this study, differences in retinal feature visualization of high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices were investigated with different axial resolutions in quantifications of retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptors (PRs) in intermediate age-related macular degeneration.
Methods: Patients were imaged with standard SPECTRALIS HRA + OCT and the investigational High-Res OCT device (both by Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany). Drusen, retinal pigment epithelium, and PR layers were segmented using validated artificial intelligence-based algorithms followed by manual corrections.
