- Association of surgeon experience with outcomes of femtosecond LASIK. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Visual outcomes are excellent after femtosecond LASIK performed by trainees and experienced surgeons. Early postoperative complications are more common in trainee-performed LASIK, but are not visually significant. Resident and fellow LASIK surgical training with a comprehensive refractive curriculum under the guidance of an experienced surgeon is safe and appropriate.

- Dynamic gonioscopy using optical coherence tomography. [Case Reports]
- CONCLUSIONS: This method would appear to offer a convenient and rapid method of assessing the configuration of the anterior chamber; it may help during the routine clinical assessment and treatment of patients with narrow or closed angles, particularly when gonioscopy is difficult to interpret.

- Correlation between retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and visual field sensitivity: diffuse atrophy imaging study. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: The correlation between RNFL thickness and SAP sensitivity was well explained by the simple linear model. Approximately 40% loss of the functional RNFL was found in preperimetric glaucoma.

- Rates of abnormal retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell layer OCT scans in healthy myopic eyes: Cirrus versus RTVue. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: The high rates of abnormal RNFL and ganglion cell layer scans on both devices call for caution, particularly when attempting to diagnose glaucoma in myopic eyes using these devices. The RNFL and ganglion cell layer analyses may not be interchangeable on either of these devices. These two devices are not interchangeable for classifying healthy myopic eyes based on RNFL or ganglion cell layer analysis.

- Contrast sensitivity and color vision in eyes with retinitis pigmentosa and good visual acuity: correlations with SD-OCT findings. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: In eyes with retinitis pigmentosa and good visual acuity, the structural changes observed on OCT scans correspond well to subtle measures of central visual function, complementary to visual acuity testing.

- Choroidal thickness measurement in highly myopic eyes using SD-OCT. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: In highly myopic eyes, the choroid is thin and undergoes further attenuation with age and increasing myopia. In addition, these findings suggest that the choroid may play a role in the pathogenesis of CNV.

- Automated detection of the foveal center improves SD-OCT measurements of central retinal thickness. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: The automated algorithm designed to detect the foveal center was more accurate in detecting the foveal center than relying on the fixation target of the SD-OCT instrument.

- Retinal and choroidal findings in oxalate retinopathy using EDI-OCT. [Case Reports]
- A 55-year-old woman with extensive retinal crystalline deposition secondary to primary hyperoxaluria presented with bilateral loss of vision secondary to oxalate retinopathy. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography revealed intraretinal, subretinal, and intraretinal and subretinal pigment epithelium, and choroidal focal hyperreflective structures consistent with both neurosensory and …

- Characteristic SD-OCT findings in preeclampsia. [Case Reports]
- High-resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography of a patient affected by acute macular edema secondary to preeclampsia is described. The particular optical coherence tomography pattern was characterized by bilateral macular edema with a tent-shaped organization, associated with massive neurosensorial retinal detachment. Many hyperreflective irregular dots were evident in the context …

- High-resolution OCT: an innovative tool for posterior segment imaging. [Review]Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging. 2012 Nov-Dec; 43(6 Suppl):S123-34.OS
- Optimal management of posterior segment disorders requires a high-resolution and preferably noninvasive imaging tool for better definition of diseases. High-resolution optical coherence tomography can provide noninvasive, high-definition imaging of the posterior segment, allowing earlier diagnosis, better follow-up of chronic cases, and more accurate and timely monitoring of the effect of therape…

- Intraoperative use of AS-OCT during intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: AS-OCT can be used intraoperatively to assess femtosecond laser-created tunnel in intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation. The qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the intrastromal tunnel by AS-OCT before implantation of the ring segments is a practical intraoperative approach that may offer a safer surgery.

- Architectural analysis of clear corneal incision techniques in cataract surgery using Fourier-domain OCT. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Epithelial imperfection at the corneal incision site was observed in more than 36% of the wounds (36% in SP-CCI and 45% in SG-CCI) at postoperative day 1 with spontaneous resolution. SG-CCI had the greatest length and lowest angle of corneal incision. Reduced incision length and inappropriate construction may determine risk factors for wound architectural imperfections. Further studies including more patients with an architectural analysis of clear corneal incisions are needed to confirm these preliminary results.
