Accurately detection of retinal landmarks, like optic disc, is an important step in the computer aided diagnosis frameworks. This paper presents an efficient method for automatic detection of the optic disc’s center and estimating its boundary. The center and initial diameter of optic disc are estimated by employing an ANN classifier. The ANN classifier employs visual features of vessels and th...

OBJECTIVE To examine peripapillary choroidal thickness in healthy controls and in patients with glaucoma who have focal, diffuse, and sclerotic optic disc damage. METHODS Healthy controls (n=92) and patients with glaucoma who have focal (n=34), diffuse (n=35), and sclerotic (n=34) optic disc damage were imaged with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (12° circular scan protocol cente...

PURPOSE To investigate spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT)-detected optic disc margin anatomy in the monkey eye by colocalizing disc photographs to SD-OCT scans acquired from the same eyes. METHODS The neural canal opening (NCO) was delineated within 40 digital radial sections generated from SD-OCT volumes acquired from 33 normal monkey eyes (15 degrees, 290 x 768 horizontal...

PURPOSE To assess prevalence, size and location of peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitations (PICCs) and their associations in a population-based sample. . METHODS The population-based Beijing Eye Study 2011 included 3468 individuals with a mean age of 64.6 ± 9.8 years (range:50-93 years). A detailed ophthalmic examination included enhanced depth imaging of the choroid by spectral-domain optic...

AIMS To find out whether the size of the blind spot area, determined by static perimetry, depends on the surface topography of the optic disc and its surrounding area. METHODS Ten eyes were examined; all had a parapapillary atrophy adjacent to the temporal side of the disc. Microperimetry was performed under direct fundus control using a Rodenstock scanning laser ophthalmoscope. The horizonta...

Takkar B, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-221967 Description A 6-year-old boy presented as a known case of developmental glaucoma and was using topical travoprost in the right eye (RE) since 1 year. Highest recorded intraocular pressure (IOP) was 24 mm Hg in RE, whereas central corneal thickness was 540 μm. Visual acuity was 6/6 in both eyes. On examination, the anterior segment ...

purpose: to report a case of unilateral severe visual loss and bilateral optic disc cupping secondary to brain metastasis of bronchogenic carcinoma patient and findings: a 48 year-old woman presented with severe visual loss of left eye without redness or pain or any systemic findings .clinical findings included decreased visual acuity of left eye to 4 m cf and (+3) positive marcus-gunn reflex ....

A new method for the detection of blood vessels that improves the detection of exudates in fundus photographs. The method starts with pre-processing to enhance the input image. The initial estimation of exudates is obtained by segmenting the optic disc and blood vessels from the fundus image. In order to segment the optic disc and blood vessel separate algorithm were used. First, optic disc is ...

Retinal image analysis is done through different diagnosis methods in this modern Ophthalmology .Many novel methods are present to segment blood vessels and optic disc in the fundus retinal images. This methods are used for non-intrusive diagnosis since in the modern ophthalmology ,morphology of blood vessel and optic disc is an important indicator for some of the diseases like diabetic retinop...
