PURPOSE To report the findings in three cases in which the average foveal thickness was increased after a thin epiretinal membrane (ERM) was removed by vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. METHODS The foveal contour was normal preoperatively in all eyes. All cases underwent successful phacovitrectomy with ILM peeling for a thin ERM. The optical coherence tomography (OCT) ...

When the eye is covered with a filter that transmits light below 480 nm and a blue field is observed on a computer screen that is modulated in brightness at about 1 Hz, the fovea is perceived as small irregular dark spot. It was proposed that the "foveal blue scotoma" results from the lack of S-cones in the foveal center. The foveal blue scotoma is highly variable among subjects. Possible facto...

BACKGROUND Intact foveal bulge has been associated with good visual outcome in retinal diseases. The aim of this study was to study the variation in foveal bulge with age. METHODS It was an observational cross-sectional study conducted between October 2014 and December 2015. Totally, 101 eyes of 101 healthy volunteers were studied in a tertiary care center. All individuals had best corrected ...

purpose : to evaluate the correlation between inner segment/outer segment (is/os) line and external limiting membrane (elm) layer integrity at foveal center and visual outcome and to investigate the prognostic factors in optical coherence tomography (oct) that related to final visual acuity (va) and recovery time in acute central serous chorioretinopathy (csc) methods : we prospectively studied...

A full-term male neonate with birth weight of 2,760 grams was noted to have an absent red reflex and was referred for retinal examination eleven days after birth. Prior to examination, the infant’s birth history was recovered from his hospital records. An ophthalmologist examined the patient and found the anterior segment and vitreous body to be completely normal. Fundus examination was perform...

A 63-year-old man with a history of liver transplantation presented to our clinic complaining of visual disturbance. He had been receiving tacrolimus (FK 506) for 30 months (6 mg/day for 2 years and 3 mg/day for 6 months); he reported that the visual disturbance began while taking tacrolimus. A full ophthalmologic examination and electrophysiologic and imaging studies were performed. The best c...

PURPOSE To determine whether foveal thickness, foveal volume, visual acuity, and foveal sensitivity after intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) are influenced by the extent of occlusion (major versus macular branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO)). MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY In this interventional case series, 22 eyes of 22 BRVO patients with macular oedema were treated by IVT...
