PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to investigate the changes in macular parameters (thickness, volume) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness (RNFLT) in different cases of amblyopia versus the normal fellow eyes using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and to estimate the relationship of OCT changes with various defined patients' parameters. DESIGN This is a prospe...

AIMS To evaluate the characterics and surgical prognosis of macular holes that develop after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair. DESIGN Retrospective, interventional, consecutive case series. METHODS The case records of nine patients who developed a new full-thickness macular hole after prior RD repair were reviewed over 6 years. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) confirmed these hole...

PURPOSE To evaluate the foveal and macular thickness in various degrees of myopia and its association with axial length in low, moderate and high degrees of myopia. DESIGN A cross-sectional study was done in the Department of Ophthalmology, MGMCRI, Pondicherry, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and twenty five eyes eyes of 64 myopic subjects between the age group of 20-40 who fulfill...

PURPOSE To evaluate the incidence, clinical features, and outcomes of macular hole formation after pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling for the management of epiretinal membrane. METHODS Retrospective consecutive chart review of 423 cases. RESULTS Eleven subjects developed postoperative macular holes (incidence 2.6%; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-4.6%). Two of the 11...

purpose: to report a case of severe macular edema following the taking of fingolimod in multiple sclerosis. case report: a 34-year-old woman with a long history of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis presented complaining of blurred vision in the left eye that started 1 week before the presentation. she had been taking fingolimod for 4 months. she was not diabetic and had no history of uveit...

PURPOSE To investigate the additive effect of oral steroid with topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) on cystoid macular edema (CME) in patients with epiretinal membrane (ERM) after cataract surgery. METHODS Medical records of subjects who underwent uneventful cataract surgery (n = 1,349) were retrospectively reviewed; among these patients, those with pre-existing ERM (n = 81) w...

PURPOSE To evaluate de macular structural damage in Stargardt's disease by optical coherence tomography, correlating with visual acuity and disease duration. METHODS Patients with Stargardt's disease were included and submitted to visual acuity (logMAR) measurement and complementary examinations performed were color fundus photographs, fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography....

PURPOSE Develop the first normative database of the thickness of every inner retinal layer in the macular area in a healthy, Caucasian population between 18 to 87 years old, using Spectralis Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). METHODS On this transversal, observational study, 300 patients between 18 to 87 years old and without an ophthalmological condition were recruited. Macular OCT scans we...

Axonal loss is thought to be the predominant cause of disability in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). The retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) is composed largely of unmyelinated axons of retinal ganglion cells, and is accessible to study with optical coherence tomography (OCT), giving a measure of axonal loss. OCT measures of the RNFL thickness (RNFLT) and macular volume were studied in 23 pati...
