TLDR
Three new methods of determining Littmann's factor q become available: simply reducing the axial length by a constant 1 · 82 mm; constructing a personalized schematic eye, given additional data; and ray tracing through this eye to extend calculations to peripheral retinal areas.Abstract:
Littmann's formula relating the size of a retinal feature to its measured image size on a telecentric fundus camera film is widely used. It requires only the corneal radius, ametropia, and Littmann's factor q obtained from nomograms or tables. These procedures are here computerized for practitioners' convenience. Basic optical principles are discussed, showing q to be a constant fraction of the theoretical ocular dimension k′, the distance from the eye's second principal point to the retina. If the eye's axial length is known, three new methods of determining q become available: (a) simply reducing the axial length by a constant 1 · 82 mm; (b) constructing a personalized schematic eye, given additional data; (c) ray tracing through this eye to extend calculations to peripheral retinal areas. Results of all these evaluations for 12 subjects of known ocular dimensions are presented for comparison. Method (a), the simplest, is arguably the most reliable. It shows good agreement with Littmann's supplementary procedure when the eye's axial length is known.read more

TL;DR: The ultrastructure and hemodynamics of MAs examined by structural images and perfusion maps of the offset pinhole AOSLO and evaluated their associations with vascular leakage on fluorescein angiography showed the diverse configurations of the MAs, some of which are occasionally accompanied by a cap structure on the aneurysmal surface.

TL;DR: Evaluating the movement of RBVs located relatively far from the ONH edge after increasing intraocular pressure in an experimental monkey model of glaucoma found that retinal vessels as well as retinal nerve fibers are pulled down to the optic nerve head as cupping increases.

The effect of axial length on photodynamic therapy.
TL;DR: Axial length of the eye has a considerable effect on PDT light fluence rate in this model, and these findings may be important for optimizing PDT, particularly in eyes with high refractive errors.

Agreement in Cone Density Derived from Gaze-Directed Single Images Versus Wide-Field Montage Using Adaptive Optics Flood Illumination Ophthalmoscopy.

TL;DR: Cone densities from single AO images are not interchangeable with wide-field montage derived–measurements, and local variation in image quality and altered visibility of cones after generating montages may contribute to the discrepancies.

TL;DR: The result was represented by curves which enable factors used in calculating the true diameter to be determined, but instead of the curves a quadratic equation is used to produce the same factors.
