Purpose: The purpose of this paper was to study the bilateral choroidal thickness (CT) symmetry and differences in healthy individuals using wide-field swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).
Methods: All participants underwent a wide-field 16-mm 1-line scan using SS-OCT. CTs were measured at the following 12 points: 3 points at 900 µm, 1800 µm, and 2700 µm away from the nasal optic disc margin (nasal peripapillary area), 1 point at the subfovea, 6 points at 900 µm, 1800 µm, and 2700 µm away from the subfovea to the nasal and temporal areas (macular area), and 2 peripheral points at 2700 and 5400 µm from temporal point 3 (peripheral area).
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated macular thickness changes in glaucoma patients during cataract surgery while using prostaglandin analogs (PGAs) and bromfenac treatment.
- Randomized controlled trial included three patient groups: those continuing PGA, those who stopped PGA for glaucoma management, and a non-glaucomatous group.
- Postoperative results showed significant changes in macular thickness across all groups, but no major differences between them, indicating that continuing PGAs doesn’t increase macular thickness or risk of edema post-surgery.
Purpose: To determine the repeatability of superficial vessel density measurements using Spectral domain Ocular coherence tomography angiography(SD-OCTA) in patients diagnosed with retinal vein occlusion(RVO).
Design: Prospective observational study.
Subjects: Patients who visited our retinal clinic from August 2017 to August 2018, diagnosed with RVO were recruited for the study.
Purpose: To evaluate the long-term results of focal laser photocoagulation and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).
Study Design: Retrospective chart review.
Methods: Sixty-two patients with CSC, thirty-three of whom were treated with focal laser photocoagulation, and 29 with PDT and who were followed up for > 6 months, were enrolled.
Purpose: Hypertension (HTN) is expected to accelerate age-related ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness (GC-IPLs) reduction, but there is limited information on the reduction rate of GC-IPLs in HTN patients. We investigate longitudinal changes in the thickness of GC-IPL in patients with HTN.
Methods: We performed a prospective, longitudinal and observational study design.
Longitudinal Changes of Retinal Thicknesses in Branch Retinal Artery Occlusion: Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Study.

September 2018
Purpose: To analyze longitudinal thickness changes in the overall macula, ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL), and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO).
Methods: A prospective analysis was conducted in patients with BRAO. The thicknesses of the overall macula, GC-IPL, and pRNFL were measured at the initial visit, and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
Aim: To analyse the repeatability of vessel density (VD) measurements using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients with retinal diseases.
Methods: Two consecutive VD measurements using OCTA were analysed prospectively in patients with retinal diseases (diabetic macular oedema (DME), retinal vein occlusion (RVO) with macular oedema, epiretinal membrane (ERM), wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD)). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), coefficient of variation (CV) and test-retest SD of VD measurements were assessed, and linear regression analyses were conducted to identify factors related to repeatability.
