<h3>Aims</h3> To determine the repeatability of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A)-derived automated vessel density measurements in superficial retinal layer (SRL) and deep (DRL) healthy individuals. <h3>Methods</h3> 41 eyes 21 individuals were included this study. OCT-A was performed using NIDEK RS-3000 Advance with prototype software. Each subject underwent two scanning sessions 5–10 min between. En face images vasculature generated default segmentation for SRL DRL. Automated...

Purpose.: We characterized the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and parafoveal capillary network in healthy subjects using swept source OCT optical microangiography (OMAG). Methods.: acquired OMAG images of macula 19 eyes (13 individuals) a prototype laser OCT. En face retinal vasculature were generated for superficial deep inner layers (SRL/DRL) regions interest 250 (ROI-250) 500 (ROI-500) μm from FAZ border. Results.: The mean area (mm2) was 0.304 ± 0.132 SRL 0.486 0.162 DRL (P < 0.001). Mean...

Purpose To evaluate the topographic distribution of choriocapillaris (CC) flow deficits in a population healthy subjects. Methods Using swept-source optical-coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) device, two repeated volume 6 x mm and 3 scans were acquired subjects at Doheny—UCLA Eye Centers. The en-face CC angiogram was binarized analyzed for percentage (FD%) using grid progressive, concentric rings covering circular area with diameter 2.5 (in scans) 5 scans). FD% each ring plotted...

To report optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) values in healthy pediatric eyes and to identify factors that may modify these values.In this prospective observational cross-sectional study, macular OCTA images were acquired from patients. Main outcome measures 1) foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area at the level of superficial retinal capillary plexus (SCP); 2) SCP deep (DCP) perfusion density (based on vessels); 3) DCP vessel a map with vessels 1-pixel width); 4) CC density. Multiple...

Abstract Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) allows the retinal microvasculature to be visualized at various depths. Previous studies introduced OCTA axial profile analysis and showed regional variations in number location of axially distinct vascular plexuses. acquisition processing approaches, however, vary terms their resulting transverse resolutions, especially latter could potentially influence results. Our study imaged normal eyes using Spectralis OCT2 with a full-spectrum,...

The corneal epithelium is directly affected in dry eye syndrome. Thus, we attempted to describe the morphological features and evaluate cellular density within epithelial layers patients with non-Sjögren's (NSDE) Sjögren's syndrome eyes (SSDE) by vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM).Central cornea was prospectively imaged IVCM 68 clinically diagnosed aqueous tear-deficient 10 healthy age-matched control eyes. Morphological characteristics of densities were evaluated four trained graders from...

To compare endothelial cell analysis obtained by noncontact specular and confocal microscopy, using the Konan NSP-9900 Nidek ConfoScan4 systems, respectively.Three groups including 70 healthy eyes, 49 eyes with Fuchs corneal dystrophy (FECD), 78 glaucoma were examined both microscope ConfocScan4 microscope. Certified graders at Doheny Image Reading Center compared images from instruments side to assess image quality. Endothelial density (ECD) measurements calculated three different...

To determine the reliability of corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) obtained by automated specular microscopy versus that validated manual methods and factors predict such reliability.Sharp central images from 94 control 106 glaucomatous eyes were captured with Konan microscope NSP-9900. All analyzed trained graders using CellChek Software, employing fully- semi-automated as well Center Method. Images low count (input cells number <100) and/or guttata compared Flex-Center Methods. ECDs...

Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a severe vision-threatening ocular infection that frequently diagnostic challenge. Treatment course lengthy and often not fully effective. Contact lens wear has been recognized as the prime risk factor for AK. In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) noninvasive imaging modality allows direct visualization of potential causative pathogens in real time with an established utility diagnosis this study, we aim to assess IVCM monitoring disease progression contact...
