Historical Overview Review of Retinal Anatomy Review Normal Retinal OCT Review of Optic Nerve Anatomy Review of Normal ONH OCT Review of Corneal Anatomy Review of Normal Corneal OCT Review of Angle Anatomy Review of Normal Angle OCT Case Studies of Abnormal OCTs
5
OCT – Optical Coherence Tomography In Ophthalmology for the past 15 years Gives us the ability to image high resolution ocular structures Based on the technology of low-coherence interferometry (used to measure Axial length) Early models allowed scans with 10 um resolution Current models allow scans with 2 um resolution
11
The human retina is 10 layers Each layer performs a specific function in the eye Nine of the ten layers are not visible to the human eye The OCT can image all ten layer with almost histological precision
23
44 y.o. white male Presents with sudden onset reduced vision OD. Entering visual acuity 20/40 OD, 20/20 OS. Patient is concerned cause he is a airline pilot and has always had perfect vision. No other significant information revealed in the history. External slitlamp exam is normal. IOP 16 mmHg OU.
26
Central Serous Retinopathy Fluid trapped under the retina, that causes an RPE detachment Common in males, over 40 y.o. Type A personality with a stressful job. Treatment – monitor most likely will resolve on its own.
27
65 y.o. white female Chief complaint, just time for a yearly exam Dva 20/20 OU sc Visual Fields normal OU Dilated Fundus Exam appears normal OU IOPs 12 mmHg OU External slitlamp exam appears normal OU
30
Epiretinal membrane secondary to a tractional PVD causing macular sceissis. Due to the fact that the RPE is unaffected no vision disturbance was noticed. Treatment - monitor
31
77 y.o. white male Presents for annual exam, chief complaint is reduced vision OD>OS IOPs 12 mmHg OU Visual Field show central loss OD>OS External slit lamp exam shows pseudoaphakic OU Dilated fundus exam show retinal exudates OD>OS
34
14 y.o. white female Presents with chief complaint of blurry vision and headaches Saw PCP, no diagnosis except overweight BMI 32 IOPs were 14 OD and 15 OS DVa was 20/40 OU cc External slitlamp exam appears normal
37
Pseudotumor cerbrei Swollen ONH secondary to increased intraocular pressure Common in young overweight females Treatment - Diamox
38
13 y.o. white male Presents for contact lens exam No visual or systemic complaints Highly myopic OU Entering DVa cc 20/20 OU IOPs 16 mmHg OD and 19 mmHg OS External Slitlamp exam was normal
42
Crowded Optic Nerves Can easily be mistaken for Pseudotumor History and images reveal this benign diagnosis Treatment - none
43
20 y.o white female Presents for annual eye exam No visual complaints Entering DVa 20/20 OU sc IOPs 14 mmHg OD and 15 mmHg OS Visual Field showed scattered defects OU External slitlamp exam was normal Benign Astrocytoma OS
47
Optic Nerve Head Drusen Calcium deposits that are embedded in the optic nerve Can cause decrease in nerve sensitivity; including reduced color vision and contrast sensitivity Can also affect visual field Treatment – monitor, possible nerve protecting agents like Alphagan P
48
32 y.o. white male Presents as new patient, told at his last eye exam that he had a “lazy eye” Visual Acuity cCL 20/20 OD and 20/200 OS IOP 16 mmHg OD and 12 mmHg OS Initial slitlamp exam appear normal, questionable thinning OS? Dilated Fundus Exam normal OU
51
Keratoconus OS >OD Keratoconus is the thinning of the cornea secondary to loss of stability of corneal collagen fibers NOT a “lazy eye” Treatment – Rigid Gas Perm CL, UV corneal crosslinking, Intacs and PKP
52
44 y.o. white male Presents for CL exam Chief complaint is decreasing near vision History high hyperopia OU DVa cc 20/20 OU Slitlamp exam reveal narrow angles OU No DFE today Gross retinal structures appear normal
56
Anatomically narrow angles Patient at risk for angle closure glaucoma More prevalent in high hyperopes Treatment – peripheral irodotomy
