Nicotine accelerates diabetes induced retinal changes

1 June 2015 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Diabetes, SD-OCT, SLO, neurons, nicotine, retinal thickness

This study investigated the influence of nicotine in an experimentally induced diabetic rat model. They used non-invasive high-resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging to provide quantitative information on the temporal alterations of retinal structures at the micrometer resolution...

Short-term effects of intravitreal bevacizumab on the cornea

1 December 2014 | | Cornea / External Eye Disease | anterior chamber depth, bevacizumab, central corneal thickness, intraocular pressure, iridocorneal angle, simulated keratometry

Bevacizumab has been extensively used to treat macula oedema and neovascularisation of the retina and it has also been useful in the management of corneal neovascular diseases. This prospective study aimed to provide more information on the effect bevacizumab may...

Choroidal and macular thickness in nonarteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy

1 December 2014 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Choroidal thickness, enhanced depth imaging, macular thickness, nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, optical coherence tomography

This study evaluates the choroidal and macular thickness in patients with chronic nonarteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NA-AION). Two groups of subjects were compared, group one included 20 eyes with chronic NA-AION and group two, 31 healthy control eyes. The...

Choroidal thickness in ocular sarcoidosis by OCT measurement

1 December 2014 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Choroidal thickness, enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomograph, quiescent phase, sarcoidosis, uveitis

This is the first study to evaluate the choroidal thickness in patients with ocular sarcoidosis during the quiescent phase using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) and comparing with normal subjects. Ocular sarcoidosis may affect the choroidal circulation (occlusive...

Correlation between structural and functional status of optic nerve and retina in multiple sclerosis

1 August 2014 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Multiple sclerosis, optical coherence tomography, perimetry, retinal nerve fibre layer thickness, visual evoked potentials

Multiple sclerosis (MS) involves autoimmune inflammatory demyelination and axonal degeneration in the central nervous system. Investigation of the retina and optic nerve head (ONH) is an ideal way to visualise this demyelination. This study investigates the functional and structural properties...

Spectral domain OCT vs. confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope in measuring RNFL thickness

1 June 2014 | | Ophthalmology | Cirrus optical coherence tomography, Heidelberg retinal tomograph 3, retinal nerve fibre layer thickness

The aim of this prospective study was to compare the retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFL) measurements obtained from the Cirrus optical coherence tomography (spectral domain OCT) with the Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph 3 (HRT3, confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope). Eighty-eight normal...
