PURPOSE We tested the hypothesis that the macular ganglion cell layer (GCL) thickness demonstrates a stronger structure-function (SF) relationship and extends the useful range of macular measurements compared with combined macular inner layer or full thickness. METHODS Ninety-eight glaucomatous eyes and eight normal eyes with macular spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) volum...

Though glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness all around the world, it is also caused due to various disorders like Cystoid macular edema (CME), and Symptomatic exudates-associated derangements (SEAD). These are caused due to excessive accumulation of fluids within the retinal layers. Hence automations in diagnosis of fluid volume plays a key role I the treatment of such disorders. O...

64 Indian Dermatology Online Journal | Volume 9 | Issue 1 | January‐February 2018 Sir, We laud Subhadarshini et al.[1] for publication of their interesting case of idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation in an Indian male. As they have pointed out this case differs from others described earlier in two aspects, namely, the persistence of lesions unchanged for 16 years and an aggravation thereaf...

PURPOSE To evaluate the changes in multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) after intravitreal bevacizumab injection in the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS Twenty-one eyes with choroidal neovascularization secondary to AMD were studied before and after intravitreal bevacizumab injection for best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), OC...

purpose: one of the major causes of visual acuity loss in diabetic patients is diabetic macular edema (dme). best-corrected visual acuity and central macular thickness changes are considered as two main outcomes in diabetic macular patients. the goal of this study was to compare the effect of intravitreal bevacizumab injection alone or combined with triamcinolone versus macular photocoagulation...

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) provides a unique ability to image the eye retina in 3D at micrometer resolution and gives ophthalmologist the ability to visualize retinal diseases such as Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). While visual inspection of OCT volumes remains the main method for AMD identification, doing so is time consuming as each cross-section within the volume must be ins...

Purpose This study examines the capacity to detect glaucoma of inner macular layer thickness measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) using a new normative database as the reference standard. Methods Participants (N = 148) were recruited from Leuven (Belgium) and Zaragoza (Spain): 74 patients with early/moderate glaucoma and 74 age-matched healthy controls. One eye wa...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate nepafenac ophthalmic suspension 0.1% (Nevanac(®); Alcon Research Ltd) in the prevention of macular edema following cataract surgery in diabetic retinopathy patients. METHODS This was a multicenter, randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled study of 263 adult diabetic patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy requiring cataract...
