چکیده
CASE REPORT We report the follow-up of a case of choroideremia who underwent three white-on-white automated visual field and three scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) examinations by means of a GDx VCC in the course of one year. A bilateral perimetric deterioration in indices and scotomas was found. As a result, retinal nerve fiber layer retardation parameters and maps changed on GDx VCC advanced serial analyses in both eyes. DISCUSSION Serial analyses with GDx VCC may be used as objective and quantitative tests to assess the progression of chorioretinal dystrophies like choroideremia

Axonal loss from acute optic neuropathy documented by scanning laser polarimetry.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Retinal nerve fibre layer analysis by scanning laser polarimetry has been shown to facilitate diagnosis of glaucoma while its role in glaucoma follow up is still unclear. A major difficulty is the slow reduction of retinal nerve fibre layer thickness in glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Eyes of patients were studied after acute retrobulbar optic nerve lesion in order to evaluate th...

متن کاملSerial follow-up in traumatic optic neuropathy using scanning laser polarimetry and visual field testing.
A 40-year-old male patient suffered from traumatic optic neuropathy in his right eye. Scanning laser polarimetry was arranged at 2 weeks, 9 weeks, 13 weeks, 24 weeks, and 34 weeks after the trauma. Manual or automated visual field testing was also arranged at 1 week, 5 weeks, 16 weeks, and 28 weeks correspondingly. The data revealed using scanning laser polarimetry (program GDx, version 1.0.05;...
متن کاملDetection of progressive retinal nerve fiber layer loss in glaucoma using scanning laser polarimetry with variable corneal compensation.
PURPOSE To evaluate the ability of scanning laser polarimetry with variable corneal compensation to detect progressive retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) loss in glaucoma patients and patients suspected of having the disease. METHODS This was an observational cohort study that included 335 eyes of 195 patients. Images were obtained annually with the GDx VCC scanning laser polarimeter, along wit...
