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...

PURPOSE To prospectively study the success rates and complications of viscocanalostomy. METHODS Prospective nonrandomized case series of 46 eyes (46 patients) with medically uncontrolled primary and secondary open angle glaucoma. All patients in the study underwent viscocanalostomy. Control of intraocular pressure was used to measure success. Pre and postoperative glaucoma medications, visual...

The purpose of the present experiment was to investigate whether, with vision, the magnitude of the effect of calf muscles fatigue on postural control during bipedal quiet standing depends on the eye-visual target distance. Twelve young university students were asked to stand upright as immobile as possible in three visual conditions (No vision, Vision 1m and Vision 4m) executed in two conditio...

I n patients with pseudotumor cerebri, it is critical to intervene surgically if visual loss continues despite medical therapy (1). This sounds like a simple rule to follow, but in reality, the decision to recommend surgery can be fraught with uncertainty. The essential problem is that if one gives medical therapy a chance to work, it may not be possible to snatch the bacon from the fire. By th...
