PURPOSE To assess the potential of a new imaging technique, optical coherence tomography, for the diagnosis and monitoring of central serous chorioretinopathy. Optical coherence tomography is a novel noninvasive, noncontact imaging modality that produces high longitudinal resolution, cross-sectional tomographs of ocular tissue. METHODS Optical coherence tomography is analogous to ultrasound, ...

The importance of the lamina cribosa in the pathogeny of glaucoma is well known, although exploration utilizing the “Enhanced Depth-Imaging” (EDI) technique with spectral domain optic coherence tomography (DS-OCT) is quite recent. Initially, it was used to assess and quantify choroidal thickness1–3 and now it has facilitated a quantum leap in qualitative, quantitative and dynamic in vivo examin...

The body changes markedly during pregnancy; each system behaves differently from a nonpregnant state. As the eyes are the only windows to see directly what is going on in the internal environment, more and more researches have been done to explain the association between ocular changes and the physiological and pathological changes during pregnancy. The choroid is one of the critical parts of t...

PURPOSE We examined choroidal thickness (ChT) and its topographic variation across the posterior pole in myopic and nonmyopic children. METHODS A total of 104 children aged 10 to 15 years (mean age, 13.1 ± 1.4 years) had ChT measured using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (OCT). Of these children 40 were myopic (mean spherical equivalent, -2.4 ± 1.5 diopters [D]) and 63 wer...

PURPOSE To demonstrate the usefulness of enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) in investigating choroidal lesions inaccessible to ultrasound sonography. METHODS In a 60-year-old woman with an asymptomatic choroidal nevus, normal OCT was used to observe the macula and EDI-OCT to image the choroidal nevus that was inaccessible to ultrasound. The exact location of the les...
