Sub-clinical detection methods in multiple sclerosis

3 April 2023 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Subclinical multiple sclerosis, axonal degeneration, frequency-doubling perimetry, optic neuritis, optical coherence tomography, standard automated perimetry

Visually symptomatic multiple sclerosis (MS) provides only part of the required information to assist in understanding the disease. Recently, researchers have concentrated their efforts on diagnosing MS cases in the subclinical period. The aim of this paper was to assess...

Prostaglandin associated periorbitopathy

1 August 2014 | | Oculoplastics, Orbit | frequency, glaucoma, periorbitopathy, prostaglandin

Prostaglandins are known to cause periorbital adverse effects. The aim of this retrospective case series was to compare the frequency of prostaglandin associated periorbitopathy (PAP) between bimatoprost, latanoprost and travoprost users. Five PAP findings were evaluated: upper lid ptosis, deepening...

Using frequency doubling technology perimetry to identify Alzheimer’s disease early

1 June 2014 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Alzheimer disease, frequency doubling technology, magnocellular pathway, visual field tests

Alzheimer’s disease is widely reported to be associated with deficits in visual function. Visual disturbances include impaired stereopsis, contrast sensitivity and motion detection. Deficits specific to the magnocellular pathway (MGC) have been identified in Alzheimer’s disease. This article compares the...
