To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of in vivo depth-resolved birefringence measurements of the human retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) by use of polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT). Because glaucoma causes nerve fiber layer damage, which may cause loss of retinal birefringence, PS-OCT is a potentially useful technique for the early detection of glaucoma. W...

purpose: to report a case of idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysm, and retinitis [irvan] with angiographic and optical coherence tomography (oct) findings. case report: a 15-year-old girl with a 2 -month history of decreased visual acuity in both eyes and best corrected visual acuity of 20/70 in both eyes was referred to the retina clinic. mild inflammation was present in anterior chamber an...

Purpose. To compare subfoveal choroidal, central retinal, and peripapillary nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness after panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) with red and green laser in diabetic patients. Study Design. Randomized clinical trial. Methods. A total of 50 patients with bilateral proliferative diabetic retinopathy and no diabetic macular edema underwent PRP. One eye was randomly assigned t...

Background: Modifications of the inner retinal layer is a frequent observation following pars plana vitectomy. Aim Work: To assess early changes thickness Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer after vitrectomy by ocular coherence tomography. Patients and Methods: This non-interventional observational study, in which 30 eyes patients underwent Examination Pars Plana Vitrectomy OCT. Cases were performed at O...

Purpose: We aimed to compare the retinal nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell layer, inner plexiform layer, and the choroid thickness between patients with Behcet disease and healthy subjects by using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Methods: Ninety eyes of 45 healthy subjects and 104 eyes of 52 patients with Behcet disease were included in this study. Rheumatoid factor and ...

In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we quantitatively analyzed the tomographic features in the neural tissues around the optic disc in patients with diabetic retinopathy with and without panretinal photocoagulation. We analyzed 206 eyes, comprising 33 normal eyes in subjects without diabetes (group I), 30 eyes without diabetic retinopathy (group II), 66 eyes with non-proliferative diab...

Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) photographs from 26 patients with Alzheimer's disease and 23 normal, age-matched, control subjects were reviewed for quality and abnormalities by two observers. A higher proportion of Alzheimer's patients showed RNFL abnormalities when compared to control subjects. There was some disagreement between the two observers regarding quality and frequency of abnormali...

BACKGROUND We compared the parameters of retinal nerve fibre layer in patients with advanced glaucoma with the use of different OCT (Optical Coherence Tomograph) devices in relation to analogical measurements performed with GDx VCC (Nerve Fiber Analyzer with Variable Corneal Compensation) scanning laser polarimetry. MATERIAL/METHODS Study subjects had advanced primary open-angle glaucoma, pre...
