Deriving visual field loss based upon OCT of inner retinal thicknesses of the macula
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a multiple linear regression method, a derived visual field (VF) was obtained from retinal ganglion cell and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thicknesses measured with frequency-domain, optical coherence tomography (OCT) macular scans. 138 eyes from 92 glaucoma patients or suspects and 58 healthy eyes were included. The derived VF was compared to the VF measured with standard automated perimetry (SAP). The median agreement between the derived and observed VFs was 90%. As the derived and observed VFs should be independent, they can be combined to potentially increase the sensitivity/specificity of a test for glaucoma.

Ultra-high resolution profiles of macular intra-retinal layer thicknesses and associations with visual field defects in primary open angle glaucoma
The structural characteristics of the outer retinal layers in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) are still controversial, and these changes, along with those in the inner retinal layers, could have clinical and/or pathophysiological significance. A custom-built ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography (UHR-OCT) combined with an automated segmentation algorithm can image and measure th...

PURPOSE We measured macular inner retinal layer thicknesses using frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (fd-OCT) and correlated these measures with visual field (VF) in eyes with temporal hemianopia from chiasmal compression and band atrophy (BA) of the optic nerve. METHODS Macular fd-OCT scans and VFs were obtained from 33 eyes of 33 patients with temporal hemianopia and 36 control e...

Purpose: To report a case of solar retinopathy following methamphetamine (MA) abuse. Case report: A 37-years-old man was visited with sudden painless loss of vision in both eyes. He was addicted to methamphetamine for three years. He used MA at the day of admission. Excessive sun gazing (4 hours) took place due to using hallucinations secondary to the MA. Visual acuity was 15/400 Snellen chart ...
