Can Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Findings Forecast Visual Outcome in the Case of Macular Edema?
Journal Title: International Journal of Ophthalmology & Eye Science (IJOES) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between visual outcome and the photoreceptor inner segment/outer segment (IS/ OS) layer status in patients with macular edema of any etiology. Design: Cross-sectional study Patients with macular edema of any etiology and who did not present with a disrupted IS/OS line were enrolled. We obtained simultaneous visual acuity and optical coherence tomography (OCT) of patients with macular edema using a spectral-domain (SD) OCT system. The device recorded retinal thickness on tomography. SD OCT was recorded repeatedly in patients before and after treatment with an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agent or triamcinolone, and the central thickness, IS, and OS were measured. The IS/OS ratio was calculated, and the data were analyzed statistically. We also reviewed the OCT scans to determine the type of macular edema, i.e., cystoid macular edema or diffuse macular edema (absence of any cysts).
