Using OCT to screen and monitor Alzheimer’s disease

1 June 2016 | | EYE - Neuro-ophthalmology | Macular thickness, mild cognitive impairment, optical coherence tomography, subjective memory complaints

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative illness characterised by progressive decline in cognitive function. AD is the main cause of dementia worldwide. Over recent years researchers have strived to find biomarkers to diagnose AD, particularly in the early stages of...

Visual outcomes, visual fields and optical coherence tomography in paediatric craniopharyngioma

1 October 2015 | | EYE - Neuro-ophthalmology | Craniopharyngioma, ganglion cell colour map, optical coherence tomography, optic neuropathy children, visual field

This study reviews the visual outcomes of ten patients under the age of 18 years with craniopharyngioma. The paper also reviews the correlation between visual field (VF) testing and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination and evaluates the role of OCT...

Structural effects of migraine on the retina

1 June 2015 | | EYE - Neuro-ophthalmology | Migraine, retinal nerve fibre layer thickness, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography

Migraine is a common, chronic, multifactorial neuro-vascular disorder typically characterised by recurrent attacks of disabling headache and autonomic nervous system dysfunction (migraine without aura). Up to one third of patients also have neurological aura symptoms (migraine with aura). The objective...

Long-term retinal changes following unilateral retrobulbar optic neuritis

1 June 2015 | | EYE - Neuro-ophthalmology | OCT, optic neuritis, optical coherence tomography, RNFL, steroid

The aim of this study was to assess the longitudinal changes in retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness after a first attack of optic neuritis and to investigate the impact of treatment on RNFL thinning at one year after the...
