چکیده

multiple topical agents for control of the intraocular pressure in her left eye. Analysis of Explanted NewColorIris Implant. Analysis using both light and scanning electron microscopy of one of the explanted NewColorIris devices shows surface and edge characteristics that deviate significantly from the appearance of other currently US Food and Drug Administration–approved anterior chamber implants on scanning electron microscopy. Specifically, the posterior surface of the NewColorIris implant has an irregular surface architecture and the edge has a very rough, nearly serrated appearance on close examination (Figure 3). These morphologic features support our contention that the surface characteristics of the NewColorIris contributed to ocular inflammation, secondary glaucoma, and endothelial cell loss in both patients. The edge profile appears to have been particularly deleterious to patient 2 due to direct apposition of the device against the angle structures as demonstrated by OCT.

Clinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography in Ophthalmology

Assessment of the peripapillary nerve fiber layer and macular thickness can be determined in ophthalmology using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Decreased nerve fiber layer thickness and macular ganglion cell thickness in optic nerve ischemia have been correlated with visual field loss. OCT allows deep optic nerve head evaluation which helps understand pathophysiology of diseases.  Furtherm...

Co-Evaluation of Peripapillary RNFL Thickness and Retinal Thickness in Patients with Diabetic Macular Edema: RNFL Misinterpretation and Its Adjustment

We investigated the relationship between the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer and peripapillary retinal thickness in patients with diabetic macular edema. Fifty eyes (group I) with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema receiving intravitreal anti-VEGF injection, and 90 eyes (group II) without diabetic macular edema were included in this case-control study. The...
