PURPOSE To record the normative values for macular thickness and macular volume in normal Nepalese eyes. METHODS In all, 126 eyes of 63 emmetropic subjects (mean age: 21.17±6.76 years; range: 10-37 years) were assessed for macular thickness and macular volume, using spectral domain-optical coherence tomography over 6×6 mm(2) in the posterior pole. A fast macular thickness protocol was employe...

purpose: to evaluate the anatomic and visual results and complications of vitrectomy in eyes with diffuse refractory diabetic macular edema associated with a taut posterior hyaloid. methods: this prospective interventional case series was conducted on 25 eyes of 22 patients with diffuse clinically significant diabetic macular edema, macular thickness greater than 250 microns on optic coherence ...

Background: Retinal vein occlusions are one of the most common form of retinal vascular disorders and could lead to vision loss due to macular edema, macular ischemia and sequelae from neovascularization. Anti-venous endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment is the choice strategy of treatment for patients with macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). There is an ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate macular thickness parameters in glaucoma patients and to compare them to normal subjects using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). This prospective, observational study included 20 primary open angle glaucoma patients (POAG) and 20 healthy subjects in control group. Exclusion criteria were diabetes and other macular pathology, like age-related macular degen...

PURPOSE To explore factors affecting the glaucoma diagnostic capability of macular thickness and circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cRNFL) thickness as determined by spectral domain-optical coherence tomography. METHODS Area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) discriminating healthy from glaucomatous eyes was determined using 10 macular thickness and ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 background : diabetic macular edema (dme) is the most common cause of reduced vision in diabetic patients. with regards to its prevalence and its severe morbidity, attention to new methods of treatment like anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) therapy is of great importance. therefore, this study aimed to evaluat...

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the improvements of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) treated with topical dorzolamide. These observational case studies included nine eyes of the nine patients with CSC, treated by a physician with topical dorzolamide consecutively over a one-month period. The central macular thickness and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were measured...

Introduction: Because of bilateral involvement in many cases with diabetic macular edema, Intravitreal bevacizumab injection perform in both eyes. There are some reports of therapeutic effects in the fellow eye after monocular injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors. In this study we describe a case of bilateral improvement of diabetic macular edema following unil...

AIMS To evaluate the scanning retinal thickness analyser (RTA), a novel non-invasive imaging instrument, in diagnosing and quantitatively characterising diabetic macular oedema, and to investigate the relation between central macula thickness measured by RTA and other clinical examinations. METHODS Central macular thickness was measured using the RTA in 40 normal subjects and 60 patients with...

PURPOSE To determine normal macular thickness and its variation by age and gender in healthy eyes using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). METHODS In this cross-sectional analysis, two hundred and twenty eyes of 220 healthy subjects underwent raster scanning using Topcon SD-OCT system, at the Department of Ophthalmology, Dow University of Health Sciences and Civil Hospital...
