Cybersight: Using OCT as an Approach to Diagnose Glaucomatous and Other Optic Neuropathies
19 July 2024
Clinically, the difference between glaucomatous and simple optic atrophy of other origins is not always clear. OCT with the ability to image and measure inner retinal layers in the macula and peripapillary area, with the measurement of rim atrophy, is...

EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
Pseudoexfolation (PEX) is characterised by deposition of fibrillary extracellular material on ocular and extraocular tissue. Studies have shown that deposition in vascular structures cause hypoxia and ischaemia. In the eye, a decrease in blood supply to the optic nerve can...

Glaucomatous neuropathy, compressive optic neuropathy, minimal rim width, non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy, non-glaucomatous neuropathy
Differential diagnosis of optic neuropathies can be challenging but is crucial for the correct management of the underlying disease and prevention of further damage. Bruch’s membrane opening (BMO) was recently discovered as the anatomical border of the optic disc. BMO...
