AJO History of Ophthalmology Series
James Wardrup, in the 1834 edition of his landmark work, The Morbid Anatomy of the Human Eye , (Wardrup 1834) published an abbreviated English translation of a 1799 German case…
Oxygen Saturation in Central Retinal Vein Occlusion
Purpose To test whether oxygen saturation is affected in retinal blood vessels in patients with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Design Prospective observational case series. Methods Oxygen saturation of hemoglobin…
Visualization of Subthreshold Micropulse Diode Laser Photocoagulation by Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy in the Retro Mode
Purpose To assess the efficacy of scanning laser ophthalmoscopy in the retro mode, employing a new dark-field aperture, for detecting laser spots created by subthreshold diode laser micropulse photocoagulation. Design…
Thickness Mapping of Retinal Layers by Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography
Purpose To report normal baseline thickness maps for 6 retinal layers generated by segmentation of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images in normal subjects. Intersubject thickness variability and thickness variations…
Optical Coherence Tomographic Characteristics of Microaneurysms in Diabetic Retinopathy
Purpose To characterize microaneurysms in diabetic retinopathy (DR) depicted by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Design Retrospective, observational case series. Methods We surveyed a consecutive series of 76 eyes from…
Inner Segment/Outer Segment Junction Assessed by Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography in Patients with Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane
Purpose To evaluate the anatomic features of the photoreceptor inner/outer segment (IS/OS) junction before and after surgery by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in patients undergoing idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery…
Structure–Function Relationships Using Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography: Comparison With Scanning Laser Polarimetry
Purpose To evaluate and compare the regional relationships between visual field sensitivity and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness as measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) and scanning laser…
Reproducibility of Retinal Thickness Measurements on Normal and Pathologic Eyes by Different Optical Coherence Tomography Instruments
Purpose To compare retinal thickness measurements produced by different time-domain and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (TD-OCT and SD-OCT) devices when imaging normal and pathologic eyes. Design Prospective, observational study in…
Comparison of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Normal Eyes Using Time-Domain and Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography
Purpose To compare retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measurements between 3 different spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) instruments (Spectralis; Heidelberg Engineering; Cirrus; Carl Zeiss Meditec; RTVue; Optovue, Inc) and…
Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography: A Diagnostic Instrument for Conjunctivochalasis
Purpose To evaluate cross-sectional areas of conjunctivochalasis and tear meniscus using Fourier-Domain RTVue-100 optical coherence tomography (OCT) before and after conjunctival cauterization and to evaluate inter- and intraobserver reliability. Design…
