Relationship between the foveal avascular zone and foveal pit morphology.
PURPOSE To assess the relationship between foveal pit morphology and size of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ). METHODS Forty-two subjects were recruited. Volumetric images of the macula were obtained using spectral domain optical coherence tomography. Images of the FAZ were obtained using either a modified fundus camera or an adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscope. Foveal pit metrics (d...
متن کاملAutomated segmentation of foveal avascular zone in fundus fluorescein angiography.
PURPOSE. To describe and evaluate the performance of a computerized automated segmentation technique for use in quantification of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ). METHODS. A computerized technique for automated segmentation of the FAZ using images from fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) was applied to 26 transit-phase images obtained from patients with various grades of diabetic retinopathy. ...
متن کاملRetinal fixation point location in the foveal avascular zone.
The site of normal fixation is often assumed to be centered in the foveal avascular zone (FAZ). This assumed anatomic relationship is used during photocoagulation therapy as an objective guide to avoid damaging critical retinal structures on or near fixation. With laser therapy being directed closer and closer to the center of the FAZ, the accuracy with which the center of the FAZ locates the r...
متن کاملRelationship between foveal cone specialization and pit morphology in albinism.
PURPOSE Albinism is associated with disrupted foveal development, though intersubject variability is becoming appreciated. We sought to quantify this variability, and examine the relationship between foveal cone specialization and pit morphology in patients with a clinical diagnosis of albinism. METHODS We recruited 32 subjects with a clinical diagnosis of albinism. DNA was obtained from 25 s...
متن کاملSize of the foveal blue scotoma related to the shape of the foveal pit but not to macular pigment
When the eye is covered with a filter that transmits light below 480 nm and a blue field is observed on a computer screen that is modulated in brightness at about 1 Hz, the fovea is perceived as small irregular dark spot. It was proposed that the "foveal blue scotoma" results from the lack of S-cones in the foveal center. The foveal blue scotoma is highly variable among subjects. Possible facto...
