Optic disc measurements using the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph in amblyopia

چکیده
PURPOSE To investigate the characteristics of optic disc parameters in amblyopic eyes in which retinal involvement is uncertain. METHODS A total of 44 patients with a history of unilateral amblyopia (27 patients with persistent amblyopia and 17 patients with resolved amblyopia) were examined using the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT) II. Parameters examined included disc area, cup area, cup volume, rim area, rim volume, cup-to-disc area ratio, and mean retinal nerve fiber layer thickness. RESULTS In patients with persistent amblyopia, the amblyopic eyes were significantly more hyperopic than the fellow eyes. In the HRT parameters, there were no significant differences between the amblyopic and fellow eyes. In addition, after adjusting for refraction, the presence of strabismus, and the disc area, there was no significant difference in any HRT parameter between the amblyopic eyes of patients with persistent amblyopia and the previously amblyopic eyes of patients with resolved amblyopia. CONCLUSIONS We did not find any strong evidence for the deformity of the optic disc of amblyopic eyes.

Factors affecting the variability of the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph III measurements in newly diagnosed glaucoma patients.
PURPOSE To determine factors associated with the test-retest variability of optic nerve head (ONH) topography measurements with confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (CSLO) in newly diagnosed glaucomatous patients. METHODS Consecutive patients with newly diagnosed primary open-angle glaucoma were prospectively enrolled. Patients presenting with any ocular disease other than glaucoma were exc...

PURPOSE To compare the optic disc topography measurements from a digitized laser slit-lamp and a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO). METHODS Ten normal subjects (10 eyes) were recruited. Topographic measurements of the optic disc were performed three times in all eyes using the Retinal Thickness Analyzer (RTA) and the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II (HRT II), and the mean values dete...
متن کاملComparison between Optic Nerve Head Topography – Using the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph – and Resolution Visual Fields
Early diagnosis is probably essential for the outcome of glaucoma treatment, and a number of methods for detecting glaucomatous damage have been developed and evaluated1. Resolution perimetry (HRP)2,3, measuring spatial resolution, is one of the methods with the highest sensitivity1. It has been found to be reliable and useful in the management and follow-up of glaucoma4-10. Another way of dete...

PURPOSE To determine whether photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) has a significant effect on optic nerve head (ONH) parameters and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measured by the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph 3 (Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) in eyes with low to moderate myopia. METHODS This prospective, interventional case series, includes 43 consecuti...
متن کاملAnalysis of retinal nerve fibre layer changes in anisometropic amblyopia by Heidelberg retina tomograph.
OBJECTIVE To identify if anisometropic amblyopia is associated with changes in optic disk morphology. METHODS The study comprised a total of 80 eyes recruited from Shifa Foundation Community Health Centre and the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad between May and October 2012. Anisometropic amblyopia was the only cause of disability (visual acuity > or = 6/12) in amblyopic eyes...
