  2. Retinoschisis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinoschisis

    Retinoschisis is an eye disease characterized by the abnormal splitting of the retina's neurosensory layers, usually in the outer plexiform layer.Retinoschisis can be divided into degenerative forms which are very common and almost exclusively involve the peripheral retina and hereditary forms which are rare and involve the central retina and sometimes the peripheral retina.

  3. Optical coherence tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_coherence_tomography

    Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique that uses interferometry with short-coherence-length light to obtain micrometer-level depth resolution and uses transverse scanning of the light beam to form two- and three-dimensional images from light reflected from within biological tissue or other scattering media.

  4. Optic pit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_pit

    The most popular theory behind this association is a separation of the layers of the retina, known as retinoschisis, due to fluid (the vitreous humour) entering the optic pit and traveling between the inner and outer layers of the retina. The outer layer may then subsequently detach. Evidence of retinoschisis has been demonstrated using OCT.

  5. Medical optical imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_optical_imaging

    Medical optical imaging is the use of light as an investigational imaging technique for medical applications, pioneered by American Physical Chemist Britton Chance. Examples include optical microscopy , spectroscopy , endoscopy , scanning laser ophthalmoscopy , laser Doppler imaging , optical coherence tomography , and transdermal optical imaging .

  6. Scanning laser ophthalmoscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_laser_ophthalmoscopy

    Optical coherence tomography (OCT) represents a powerful clinical tool for monitoring retinal physiology in patients. OCT uses low coherence interferometry to differentiate tissues within the eye and create a cross section of a living patients’ retina non-invasively. [21] It actually has greater axial resolution than AOSLO. [22]

  7. Acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_idiopathic_blind...

    Diagnostic techniques like ophthalmoscopy, visual field test, optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, multifocal electroretinography and electrophysiology may be used in diagnosing AIBSE syndrome. [2] Subjective measurement of blind spot enlargement is done using visual field testing. [4]

  8. Central serous chorioretinopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_serous_chorio...

    Optical coherence tomography imaging of central serous retinopathy Indocyanine green angiography (left) and laser Doppler imaging (right) of the macula in central serous retinopathy, revealing choroidal vessels. Blue and red correspond to low and high blood flow respectively.

  9. Kjer's optic neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kjer's_optic_neuropathy

    Another visual test—optical coherence tomography (OCT) analyzes the optic nerve head—shows other structural consequences of the disease as retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell layer thinning.
