TL;DR: The extent to which the 24-2 visual field (VF) misses macular damage confirmed with both 10-2 VF and optical coherence tomography (OCT) tests was determined and the patterns of damage missed were evaluated.

TL;DR: The intensity of the inner segment ellipsoid (ISe) band is lower in patients with diminished cone function than it is in healthy controls, consistent with the hypothesis that both rod and cone receptors must be absent or damaged for this band to be missing.

TL;DR: Quantitative fundus autofluorescence (qAF), spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) segmentation, and multimodal imaging were performed to elucidate the pathogenesis of Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD) and to identify abnormalities in lesion versus nonlesion fundus areas.

TL;DR: The location of the loss of the inner segment (IS)/outer segment (OS) border, as seen with frequency domain optical coherence tomography (fdOCT), was determined on fdOCT scans from patients with retinitis pigmentosa and showed promise as a measure for following changes in patients undergoing treatment.

TL;DR: The OCT data here support a faster rate of loss per year in the case of xlRP, which is a marker of the usable visual field at a given point in time and of the progression of the disease over time.
