purpose : to evaluate the retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) and central corneal thickness (cct) in patients with exfoliation syndrome (xfs) methods : in this comparative case series we measures rnfl thickness and cct 30 patients with xfs and 30 age and sex matched healthy subjects who met the inclusion criteria. results : average rnfl in xfs group were significantly thinner than controls (94.36±...

. to investigate the effect of anisometropic and strabismic amblyopia on the nerve fiber layer thickness. this cross-sectional study was done on 54 amblyopic subjects, equally in both strabismic and anisometropic groups. the thickness otonerve fiber layer measured in superior, inferior, nasal, temporal quadrants and as a whole in both eyes of both groups. the means of thickness were compared in...

purpose: to determine agreement between peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) thickness measurements by two different spectral domain optical coherence tomography (sd-oct) machines. methods: both eyes of 89 subjects were evaluated using cirrus oct (carl zeiss meditec, inc. dublin, ca, usa) and topcon oct (3d oct 1000, topcon corporation, tokyo, japan). one eye was randomly selected in ...

Assessment of the peripapillary nerve fiber layer and macular thickness can be determined in ophthalmology using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Decreased nerve fiber layer thickness and macular ganglion cell thickness in optic nerve ischemia have been correlated with visual field loss. OCT allows deep optic nerve head evaluation which helps understand pathophysiology of diseases.  Furtherm...

purpose: to examine the relationship between retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) measurements obtained using scanning laser polarimetry with variable corneal compensation (vcc) and central corneal thickness (cct) measurements using pentacam in myopic patients methods: the study included 45 eyes from 45 myopic patients with intraocular pressure (iop) measurements≤21 mmhg. all participants had norma...

purpose : to determine the nerve fiber layer and macular thickness by optical coherence tomography (oct) in emmetropic, high-myopic and high-hyperopic eyes methods : one hundred five eyes of 55 randomly selected healthy subjects between 20 and 30 years old were included in this study. the eyes were categorized in three groups (high-myopic, emmetropic and high-hyperopic) according to their cyclo...

background: headache is one of the most disturbing symptoms with common neurological signs. variations in optic nerve perfusion quality or retinal microcirculation may end up in ganglion cell damage in patients with migraine. methods: sixty patients diagnosed with migraine and thirty normal individuals were evaluated in groups including migraine with aura, migraine without aura and controls. re...

INTRODUCTION Optical coherence tomography is a technology that allows obtaining high resolution images of tissues in vivo, enabling the measurement of ocular structures, including the retinal nerve fiber layer and macular thickness. As a noninvasive test it's particularly useful in children, but its applicability is limited by the existence of normative values for adults only. PURPOSE To esta...
