purpose: to determine agreement between peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) thickness measurements by two different spectral domain optical coherence tomography (sd-oct) machines. methods: both eyes of 89 subjects were evaluated using cirrus oct (carl zeiss meditec, inc. dublin, ca, usa) and topcon oct (3d oct 1000, topcon corporation, tokyo, japan). one eye was randomly selected in ...

purpose : to evaluate the retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) and central corneal thickness (cct) in patients with exfoliation syndrome (xfs) methods : in this comparative case series we measures rnfl thickness and cct 30 patients with xfs and 30 age and sex matched healthy subjects who met the inclusion criteria. results : average rnfl in xfs group were significantly thinner than controls (94.36±...

purpose: to examine the relationship between retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) measurements obtained using scanning laser polarimetry with variable corneal compensation (vcc) and central corneal thickness (cct) measurements using pentacam in myopic patients methods: the study included 45 eyes from 45 myopic patients with intraocular pressure (iop) measurements≤21 mmhg. all participants had norma...

purpose : to compare retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) profile in subjects with myopia and emmetropia using gdx variable corneal compensator (vcc) methods : besides ophthalmologic standard examination (refraction, visual acuity and slit-lamp examination, applanation tonometry, and funduscopy), perimetry and scanning laser polarimetry (slp) were performed. 171 healthy age-matched subjects with lo...

purpose: to measure peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) thickness in normal human eyes by optical coherence tomography (oct). methods: eighty-one eyes of 45 normal participants were studied. each person underwent a complete ophthalmic examinations, including measurement of visual aquity and intraocular pressure and evaluation of the anterior segment, optic disc, and retinal nerve fib...

background: headache is one of the most disturbing symptoms with common neurological signs. variations in optic nerve perfusion quality or retinal microcirculation may end up in ganglion cell damage in patients with migraine. methods: sixty patients diagnosed with migraine and thirty normal individuals were evaluated in groups including migraine with aura, migraine without aura and controls. re...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: this study was designed to investigate the effect of vitiligo on the retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) thickness. materials and methods: this prospective study was conducted in the department of ophthalmology at kä±rä±kkale university during 2010 and 2011.sixty eight eyes of 34 vitiligo patients were included in the study. eighty four eye...

purpose: to compare peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) thickness among multiple sclerosis (ms) patients with or without a history of optic neuritis (on) and a healthy control group. methods: in this retrospective case-control study, 59 ms patients were recruited from a neurology clinic of imam hossein hospital. of which, 36 patients had at least one episode of on and 23 others had n...

We investigated the relationship between the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer and peripapillary retinal thickness in patients with diabetic macular edema. Fifty eyes (group I) with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema receiving intravitreal anti-VEGF injection, and 90 eyes (group II) without diabetic macular edema were included in this case-control study. The...

PURPOSE To evaluate the retinal nerve fiber layer measurements with time-domain (TD) and spectral-domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT), and to test the diagnostic ability of both technologies in glaucomatous patients with asymmetric visual hemifield loss. METHODS 36 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma with visual field loss in one hemifield (affected) and absent loss in the ot...
