Determinants of Normal Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Measured by Stratus OCT

Reads0

TLDR
Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, as measured by Stratus OCT, varies significantly with age, ethnicity, axial length, and optic disc area, and these variables may need to be taken into account when evaluating patients for diagnosis and follow-up of glaucoma.

Glaucomatous damage of the macula

TL;DR: Clinicians need to be aware that glaucomatous damage to the macula is common, can occur early in the disease, and can be missed and/or underestimated with standard VF tests that use a 6° grid, such as the 24-2 VF test.

A framework for comparing structural and functional measures of glaucomatous damage

TL;DR: A framework is proposed for understanding what is meant by the question, 'Does structural damage precede functional damage in glaucoma?' and the need to distinguish between "statistical" and "relational" meanings of this question.

Optical coherence tomography in multiple sclerosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: The estimated RNFL thinning in patients with MS is greater than the extent expected in normal ageing, probably because of retrograde trans-synaptic degeneration and progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells, in addition to the more pronounced thinning caused by optic neuritis if present.

Retinal nerve fiber layer imaging with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography: a variability and diagnostic performance study.

TL;DR: Although the diagnostic performance and the strength of the structure-function association were comparable between Cirrus HD-OCT and Stratus OCT RNFL measurements, Cirrus' measurement variability demonstrated lower measurement variability compared withstratus OCT with significant differences at 1, 3, 4, and 8 to 11 o'clock.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Vessel Density in Healthy, Glaucoma Suspect, and Glaucoma Eyes.

TL;DR: Optical coherence tomography angiography vessel density had similar diagnostic accuracy to RNFL thickness measurements for differentiating between healthy and glaucoma eyes, suggesting that OCT-A measurements reflect damage to tissues relevant to the pathophysiology of OAG.

Optical coherence tomography

TL;DR: OCT as discussed by the authors uses low-coherence interferometry to produce a two-dimensional image of optical scattering from internal tissue microstructures in a way analogous to ultrasonic pulse-echo imaging.

Optical Coherence Tomography

TL;DR: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has developed rapidly since its first realisation in medicine and is currently an emerging technology in the diagnosis of skin disease as mentioned in this paper, where OCT is an interferometric technique that detects reflected and backscattered light from tissue.

The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study: A Randomized Trial Determines That Topical Ocular Hypotensive Medication Delays or Prevents the Onset of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

TL;DR: Topical ocular hypotensive medication was effective in delaying or preventing the onset of POAG in individuals with elevated IOP, and clinicians should consider initiating treatment for individuals with ocular hypertension who are at moderate or high risk for developing POAG.

Primary open-angle glaucoma.

TL;DR: Improvements in therapy consist of more effective and better-tolerated drugs to lower intraocular pressure, and more effective surgical procedures to directly treat and protect the retinal ganglion cells that are damaged in glaucoma.

Retinal ganglion cell atrophy correlated with automated perimetry in human eyes with glaucoma.

TL;DR: Estimates suggest that visual field sensitivity in automated testing begins to decline soon after the initial loss of ganglion cells in human eyes with glaucoma, and that this decline is most pronounced in areas that had 0-dB sensitivity in the field test.
