BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and fluorescein angiography (FA) in the guidance of macular laser photocoagulation for diabetic macular edema. METHODS This was a prospective interventional clinical comparative pilot study. Forty eyes from 24 consecutive patients with diabetic macular edema were allocated to ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to characterize central macular thickness and retinal volume following intravitreal injections using time domain and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (TD-OCT and SD-OCT, respectively). METHODS Nine patients with macular edema secondary to diabetes or retinal vein occlusion treated with intravitreal triamcinolone 4.0 mg and/or bevacizumab 1....

purpose: to measure macular thickness in normal subjects with respect to age and gender using cirrus hd-oct in rasht city. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 112 normal subjects were randomly selected. both eyes of each subject were included and all subjects underwent complete eye examinations. macular thickness map protocol with macular cube 512×128 was selected, and the average thickness...

AIM To compare the difference of retinal macular thickness and macular volume using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients with the normal subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS This observational case control study included primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients (n = 124 eyes) and healthy subjects in the control group (n = 124 eyes). All subjects unde...

The aim of the current study was to determine the association between fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) image results, optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging results and visual functions in patients with idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERMs). A total of 80 eyes from 40 patients diagnosed with ERM were analyzed. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and metamorphopsia were measured using t...

we aimed determine normal macular thickness by using cirrus hd-oct in  rasht city, iran. in this cross-sectional survey, 112 were selected with random sampling. all subjects underwent complete eye examinations. both eyes of each patient were evaluated. optional protocol was macular thickness map with macular cub 512×128 and the average thickness of the retina was determined in 9 etdrs regions. ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the macular volume in eyes with immune recovery uveitis (IRU) and to describe a new method to quantify macular edema with the use of confocal scanning laser tomography (cSLT). METHODS A prospective study was performed to assess the macular volume with cSLT in patients with and without IRU. None of the patients enrolled had cytomegalovirus retinitis within 3000 micro m o...

BACKGROUND It is unclear how retinal ischemia influences the changes of visual acuity, macular sensitivity, macular thickness, and macular volume after the performance of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for macular edema in patients with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). METHODS Ten patients (10 eyes) with CRVO and macular edema underwent PPV. Retinal ischemia was evaluated from the area of ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlations between aqueous concentrations of interleukin 1β, 6, 8, 10, 12p (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and the parameters of macular edema acquired by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with choroidal neovascularization. METHODS IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p, and TNF-α in the aqueous humor samples of 17 ...

PURPOSE To determine whether a significant correlation exists between the morphology of the macula measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and the amplitude of focal macular electroretinograms (fmERGs) in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). METHODS fmERGs were recorded in 43 patients with RP and 43 age-similar normal subjects, with a 15 degrees stimulus spot, 5.6 to 5.8 mm in diam...
