Insights Into Epiretinal Membranes: Presence of Ectopic Inner Foveal Layers and a New Optical Coherence Tomography Staging Scheme

TL;DR: The presence of continuous ectopic inner foveal layers in ERMs is a newly described OCT finding associated with significant vision loss and is an essential element of a novel OCT-based grading scheme of ERMs that may influence visual prognosis.

Photoreceptor Outer Segment Length: A Prognostic Factor for Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane Surgery

TL;DR: Imaging of PROS length with SD-OCT was found to be a good indicator of BCVA at each time point after surgery and a predictor of postoperative BCVA in patients with idiopathic ERM.

Correlation between foveal cone outer segment tips line and visual recovery after epiretinal membrane surgery.

TL;DR: The recovery of the foveal CO ST line defect is correlated with the BCVA after ERM surgery, and the length of the preoperative COST line defect can predict the potential foveAL function.

Imaging of macular diseases with optical coherence tomography.

TL;DR: Optical coherence tomography is potentially a powerful tool for detecting and monitoring a variety of macular diseases, including macular edema, macular holes, and detachments of the neurosensory retina and pigment epithelium.

Characterization of Epiretinal Membranes Using Optical Coherence Tomography

TL;DR: Optical coherence tomography was able to provide a structural assessment of the macula that was useful in the preoperative and postoperative evaluation of epiretinal membrane surgery and may be useful in characterizing the surgical prognosis of eyes with an epireTinal membrane.

Characterization of epiretinal membranes using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

TL;DR: In this article, the epiretinal membrane was clearly separated from the retina with focal points of attachment in 49 eyes and globally adherent (no observed separation) in 125 eyes.

Revealing Henle's Fiber Layer Using Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography

TL;DR: Recognition of the optical properties of HFL can explain reflectivity changes imaged in this layer in association with macular pathology, and a novel method to distinguish HFL from true ONL is demonstrated.

Three-dimensional ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography of macular diseases.

TL;DR: High-speed UHR OCT offers unprecedented, realistic, 3-D imaging of ocular diseases at all epi-, intra- and subretinal levels and allows a comprehensive analysis of focal and diffuse diseases, as well as identification of dynamic pathomechanisms.
