Observation of the Vitreous in Diabetic Macular Edema Using Swept-Source OCT
نویسندگان
چکیده
Method: We examined 81 eyes of 58 consecutive patients diagnosed as DME. The condition of the posterior wall of the posterior precortical vitreous pocket (PPVP) was classified into 4 groups based on 12-mm horizontal and vertical scans through the macula using SS-OCT. Classifications were: Group 1, no posterior vitreous detachments (PVDs); Group 2, perifoveal PVD; Group 3, macular PVD; and Group 4, complete PVD. DME types, which included cystoid macular edema (CME) and serous retinal detachment (SRD), were also investigated in each group. The control group consisted of 46 eyes of 39 diabetic patients without DME as shown by OCT.

Novel perspectives on swept-source optical coherence tomography
Technologies for multimodal digital imaging of vitreoretinal diseases have improved the accuracy of diagnosis and the depth of the knowledge of the mechanisms of disease and their response to treatments. Optic coherence tomography (OCT) has become a mandatory tool for the management and for the follow-up of retinal pathologies. OCT technology evolved in the last two decades from time-domain to ...
