Article Abstract
Purpose: To compare capillaries perfusion in macular areas at different layers and peripapillary region in radial peripapillary capillaries (RPC) between healthy subjects and subjects with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea (OSA) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Methods: Totally 16 eyes with mild-to-moderate OSA, 14 eyes with severe OSA and 22 control eyes were enrolled in this study. Every subject filled out the Berlin questionnaire and received a comprehensive ocular and physical examination. The clinical characteristics were collected, OCT and OCTA scans using OCTA RT XR Avanti (AngioVue software, Optovue Inc., Fremont, CA, USA) were performed and analyzed.
Results: Compared to the control group, the severe group had significantly higher VD in parafovea and perifoveal regions (p = 0.031; p = 0.029) at the level of deep capillary plexus (DCP), whereas the mild-to-moderate group had a significantly lower VD in the peripapillary region on RPC network in disc areas (p = 0.013).
Conclusions: Blood flow changes in macular areas might first appear at the DCP layer in OSA patients. Reduced VD in the peripapillary region at the RPC layer might be associated with OSA and cause subsequent RNFL changes.

Retinal Thinning in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Structural Changes Detected by Spectral-Domain OCT.
J Clin Med
August 2025
General University Hospital Morales Meseguer, 30008 Murcia, Spain.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder. As the retina is an extension of the central nervous system, retinal imaging may provide insights into the ADHD pathophysiology. The objective of this work was to evaluate structural retinal alterations using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in ADHD patients compared to neurotypical controls.

Background: Migraine has been proposed as a potential contributing factor to ischemic complications involving the retina and optic nerve. Ophthalmic disorders connected with migraine encompass occlusions of the branch and central retinal arteries and veins, alongside anterior and posterior ischemic optic neuropathy. With the advent of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), it is easy to identify these macular subclinical microvascular and structural changes.

To systematically review the evidence regarding the characteristics of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) in acute retinal arterial occlusion (RAO), with a particular focus on vascular alterations across the superficial and deep capillary plexuses, choroid, and peripapillary regions. : A comprehensive literature search was performed across PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Database up to April 2025. The search terms included "Optical coherence tomography angiography," "OCTA," "Retinal arterial occlusion," "Central retinal artery occlusion," and "Branch retinal artery occlusion.

Background: Papilledema and other optic neuropathies are critical findings in neuro-ophthalmology that require timely and accurate diagnosis. This study evaluates the performance of a deep learning system (DLS) to identify papilledema and other optic neuropathies, when applied to a large dataset of retinal photographs acquired prospectively with a handheld nonmydriatic camera in a neuro-ophthalmology department.
Methods: International multiethnic, multicenter study including 20,533 retinal photographs (10,647 patients) from 31 centers worldwide.
Optic Nerve Atrophy Conditions Associated With 3D Unsegmented Optical Coherence Tomography Volumes Using Deep Learning.

Importance: Accurate differentiation of optic nerve head (ONH) atrophy is vital for guiding diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as glaucoma, nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), and optic neuritis. Traditional 2-dimensional assessments may overlook subtle, volumetric changes.
Objective: To determine whether a 3-dimensional (3D) deep learning model trained on unsegmented ONH optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans can reliably distinguish optic atrophy in glaucoma, NAION, optic neuritis, and healthy eyes.
