Purpose: This study evaluates and compares the accuracy of responses from 2 artificial intelligence platforms to patients’ oculoplastics-related questions. Methods: Questions directed toward oculoplastic surgeons were collected, rephrased, input independently into ChatGPT-3.5 BARD chatbots, using prompt: “As an surgeon, how can I respond my patient’s question?.” Responses evaluated by 4 experienced specialists as comprehensive, correct but inadequate, mixed incorrect/outdated data,...
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is a noninvasive technology that allows visualization of retinal blood vessels. It important to determine reproducibility measurements as low precision can impair its diagnostic capabilities. The purpose this study intravisit and intervisit optic nerve head (ONH) macular vessel density with OCT-A.Fifteen healthy volunteers 14 glaucoma patients completed 2 OCT-A (AngioVue; Optovue Inc.) scanning sessions on each separate days assess...
Purpose: To evaluate the association between macula vascular density assessed by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) and central visual field (VF) threshold sensitivities in healthy, glaucoma suspect, patients. Methods: A total of 185 eyes from 38 healthy participants, 31 suspects, 72 mild patients, 44 moderate/severe patients Diagnostic Innovations Glaucoma Study who underwent OCT-A images 10-2 VF testing were enrolled this observational cross-sectional study. The relationship...
Purpose: To evaluate aqueous humor outflow (AHO) in intact eyes of live human subjects during cataract surgery using fluorescein angiography. Methods: Aqueous angiography was performed 8 (56 to 86 y old; 2 men and 6 women). After anesthesia, (2%) introduced into the eye [either alone or after indocyanine green (ICG; 0.4%)] from a sterile, gravity-driven constant-pressure reservoir. angiographic images were obtained with Spectralis HRA+OCT FLEX module (Heidelberg Engineering). Using same...
Purpose: To evaluate strength of associations between optical coherence tomography (OCT)-angiography vessel density (VD) measurements in the macula and peripapillary region optic nerve head (ONH) with standard structural OCT thickness measures. Materials Methods: This cross-sectional study included 333 eyes 219 primary open-angle glaucoma patients, 41 suspects, 73 healthy participants from Diagnostic Innovations Glaucoma Study (DIGS) good quality angiography images. The microvasculature...
Purpose: To assess the reproducibility and agreement of measurement values obtained from Tomey CASIA2 Heidelberg Spectralis OCT2 anterior segment optical coherence tomographic devices. Methods: Twenty eyes 10 subjects ranging age 28 to 45 years with no history eye conditions or intraocular surgery were included. Two scans each device in a standardized dark room environment after period adaptation. One tomography image along horizontal (temporal nasal) meridian was analyzed per scan. Lens...
Précis: There is diagnostic information in the outer region of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) macula scans not available inner region, and this especially useful early stages glaucoma. Purpose: The aim study was to evaluate accuracy 3×3 6×6 mm 2 OCT-A for classifying healthy, mild glaucoma, moderate severe glaucoma eyes. Methods: Participants enrolled Diagnostic Innovations Glaucoma Study (DIGS) with good quality images acquired on same day were included cross-sectional...
Purpose To evaluate microvasculature dropout in the optic disc (Mvd-D) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and investigate factors associated with Mvd-D primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) eyes. Methods One hundred twenty-three eyes of 123 POAG patients were included from Diagnostic Innovations Glaucoma Study. The 3.0×3.0-mm nerve head OCTA scans acquired a spectral-domain OCT instrument. Images whole-signal-mode evaluated. Eyes classified into 3 categories (Mvd-D,...
Macular superficial capillary plexus (SCP) vessel density is more informative than deep (DCP) for the detection of glaucoma.
To identify clinically relevant parameters for identifying glaucoma in highly myopic eyes, an investigation was conducted of the relationship between thickness various retinal layers and superficial vessel density (sVD) macula with axial length (AL) visual field mean deviation (VFMD).270 patients (438 eyes) participating Diagnostic Innovations Glaucoma cross-sectional study representing three myopia groups (non-myopia: n=163 eyes; mild myopia: n=218 high (AL>26 mm): n=57 who completed...
<h3>Importance</h3> Certain features of the lamina cribrosa may be associated with increased risk glaucoma progression. <h3>Objectives</h3> To compare rates retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning in patients open-angle or without (LC) defects and to evaluate factors rate progression eyes LC defects. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This longitudinal cohort study designed September 2017 conducted at a tertiary center California included 51 43 83 68 followed up for mean (SD) 3.5 (0.8)...
