Mashup Score: 1Precision of a new SS-OCT biometer to measure anterior... : Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery - 2 hour(s) ago
artment of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden. Design: Prospective, comparative case series. Methods: 3 consecutive measurements were obtained in unoperated eyes with the Eyestar900 (SS-OCT), Lenstar 900, MS-39, and Sirius. The following anterior segment parameters were evaluated: central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal diameter (CD), aqueous depth (AQD), and corneal power metrics. The repeatability limit (Rlim), coefficient of variation (CoV), and a repeated measures Bland-Altman analysis were performed. Results: 74 eyes of 74 participants were measured. The Rlims for CCT, CD, and AQD were lower than 10 μm, 0.3 mm, and 0.10 mm for all devices, respectively. The corresponding CoVs for these parameters never exceeded 1.2%. The Rlim for the corneal power metrics never exceeded 0.60 diopter (D) for any of the instruments. Lenstar showed the best agreement with the MS-39 to measure CCT, CD, and AQD (limit of agreement interval, LoA: 15.54 μm, 0.55 mm, and 0.16

analyze the thickness of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer and 8 macular layers using optical coherence tomography in eyes with ocular hypertension (OHT) and pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) and healthy eyes and to evaluate between-group differences. Materials and Methods: In a prospective study, the macular segmentation of retinal layers in 120 eyes of 120 participants was performed automatically using current Heidelberg Spectralis optical coherence tomography software, which provides measurements for 8 retinal layers. Thickness maps divided into nine subfields (ie, 1, 3, and 6 mm) were extracted from the software for each retinal layer and compared between groups. Results: The thinnest macular layers appeared in the ocular hypertensive PXS, normotensive PXS, and OHT groups in that order. In the inner retinal layers (macular retinal nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell layer, and inner plexiform layer), statistically significant differences emerged between the PXS and control gr

Mashup Score: 25
A 33-year-old man presented with decreased vision in the right eye 2 months after trauma. Fundus examination revealed retinal hemorrhage along a choroidal rupture (A). OCT demonstrated a hyperreflective membrane extending from the choroid into the subhyaloid space (B). It is likely there was a full thickness retinal break along with a choroidal rupture at the time of the trauma. The epiretinal membrane is likely a result of the previous vitreous hemorrhage and communicates with the subretinal fibrosis from the choroidal neovascular membrane due to the retinal break.
