This report is of a patient with ischemic central retinal vein occlusion who underwent panretinal photocoagulation. Serial measurements of the retinal nerve fiber layer were performed using scanning laser polarimetry, which showed increased thickness of the peripapillary region as early as 2 weeks after the panretinal photocoagulation.

Retinal dopamine loss in Parkinson disease (PD) is reflected by visual neurophysiological dysfunction. We measured the thickness of the circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in PD patients using optical coherence tomography. The thickness in the inferior quadrant of PD patients (147 +/- 20 microns) was significantly thinner than that of controls (173 +/- 12 microns; p=0.002), while t...

PURPOSE To evaluate quantitatively the intraobserver reproducibility of measurements of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in healthy subjects and an ocular hypertensive population using two nerve fiber analyzers. METHODS Sixty eyes of normal (n=30) and ocular hypertensive subjects (n=30) were consecutively recruited for this study and underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination and ach...

Optical coherence tomography is a relatively new non-invasive imaging technique used for obtaining the images and quantifying the layers of the retina. It also provides information about optic nerve head topography, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and macular volume which correlates with axonal loss. Until now, this method was used mainly in ophthalmology; now it has emerged ...

BACKGROUND In a clinical study, the role of chronic hypoxia in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or the role of transient hypoxia in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome were examined for the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layers. PATIENTS AND METHODS 10 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease GOLD stages 3 or 4 (4 men and 6 women, age 47 to 71 years...

The advent of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) provides a new opportunity to visualize the retinal vasculature in a non-invasive and dye-free manner which may help identify vascular abnormalities in glaucoma. While a reduction in retinal and optic nerve head vessel densities and blood flow indexes measured by OCT-A has been demonstrated in patients with glaucoma in many studies,...

PURPOSE/METHODS To present the neuro-ophthalmology examination in 5 spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS) patients showing significant increases in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS All patients showed abnormal visual fields, normal optic discs with increased visibility of RNFL in color stereo-photographs, normal examination with Heidelberg Retina Tomogr...

PURPOSE To evaluate the normative data of macular thickness and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) among normal subjects using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Normal subjects presenting to a tertiary medical hospital were included in the study. All patient underwent clinical examination followed by study of macular thickness and RN FL thick ne...
