  • How to use optical coherence tomography to improve diagnosis and treatment of ocular fundus disease?

    The improvement of diagnostic levels for fundus diseases depend on the advancements of fundus imaging technology. Different fundus imaging technologies allow doctors to inspect ocular fundus from different aspects such as morphological or functional changes of retina. As a basic fundus examination method, optical coherence tomography provides highresolution and crosssectional retinal images coupled with noninvasive advantages. Fully understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of each fundus imaging technique, appropriate choosing one or combining several imaging techniques, and optimizing diagnostic procedures for each fundus disease are crucial steps to improve our diagnostic levels of ocular fundus diseases. 

  • Investigation of the association between the macular volume and thick ness by optical coherence tomography, with refraction state and axial length in children

    Purpose To investigate the association between the macular volume and thickness, as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT), with refraction state and axial length (AL) in children. Methods A total of 100 normal children whose right eyes were randomly selected were divided into five groups due to their refraction, comprising hyperopia, emmetropia, low myopia, moderate myopia, high myopia. The AL of the eyes was measured by IOL mas ter measuring machine. Then the macular volume and thickness were measured by OCT. Results Children with high myopia have smaller macular volume and thinner parafoveal retinal thickness (especially out-ring macular). The minimum thickness and average thickness of the fovea were not significantly different among the five groups. The macular volume ,total average macular thickness and quadrant-specific macular thickness(except the nasal inner quadrants) were positively associated with refraction and negatively associated with AL, while t here were no correlation between minimum foveal thickness, the average foveal th ickness and refraction or AL. Conclusions In Chinese children, increasing axial length was associated with reduced macular volume and thickness (except the foveal region and the nasal inner quadrant). (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,2008,24:114-117)
