Optical coherence tomography provides insight into the effect of intacs in keratoconus.
K eratoconus is a bilateral, asymmetric, chronic, initially progressive ectasia of the cornea characterized by steepening, distortion, and thinning of the apical cornea as well as corneal scarring. Intrastromal corneal ring segments (Intacs; Addition Technology Inc, Sunnyvale, California) is 1 treatment option available for patients with keratoconus, especially those with contact lens intoleran...
متن کاملClinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography in Ophthalmology
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...

متن کاملExperimental Visualization of Labyrinthine Structure with Optical Coherence Tomography
Introduction:Visualization of inner ear structures is a valuable strategy for researchers and clinicians working on hearing pathologies. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging technology which may be used for the visualization of tissues. In this experimental study we aimed to evaluate inner ear anatomy in well-prepared human labyrinthine bones.Materials and Methods:Thr...
