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 evaluate the rate of optical coherence tomography (oct) grid decentration in a routine practice and its effect on thickness measurements methods: topcon spectral domain oct scans from various macular diseases including age related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, macular pucker and central serous chorioretinopathy (cscr) were studied in all patients visited during seven...

Introduction: Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia worldwide. The modalities to diagnose AD are generally expensive and limited. Both the central nervous system (CNS) and the retina are derived from the cranial neural crest; therefore, changes in retinal layers may reflect changes in the CNS tissue. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) machine can show delicate retinal layer...

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 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...

Introduction: We investigated correlation between the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and the severity of Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: In this study, the RNFL thickness of 23 patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) was compared to normal controls (NCs). PD severity was assessed by the MDS-UPDRS (movement disorder society Unified Parkinson Disea...

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...

Background: Retinal vein occlusions are one of the most common form of retinal vascular disorders and could lead to vision loss due to macular edema, macular ischemia and sequelae from neovascularization. Anti-venous endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment is the choice strategy of treatment for patients with macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). There is an ...

Statement: This study was conducted to determine the properties for thickness map of 11 retinal layers in fovea and 8 surrounding sectors. Retinal boundaries were determined automatically and the thickness results were compared between genders and for variety of ages. Abstract Purpose. This study was conducted to determine the thickness map of eleven retinal layers in normal subjects by spectra...
