There just isn’t enough information out there when it comes to OCT terminology for intraretinal fluid—specifically, for the purpose of lesion classification in chorioretinal pathologies.
A new term is born: intraretinal cystoid lesions
Treating postoperative cystoid macular edema: then and now
This edition of the EyeCarePD newsletter introduces new technology for improving the accuracy of OCT interpretation and highlights advances in the treatment of postoperative cystoid macular edema.
Sheets in the eye
Vitreous degeneration can take varying forms and has been classified in various manners in the scientific literature.
Does all exudate warrant therapy?
We certainly all would agree that not every area of hard exudate warrants intervention.
Is the retinal thickening due to the epiretinal membrane?
In this OCT image you will note an epiretinal membrane (arrows). There is also intraretinal fluid best described as diffuse outer retinal thickening (circle).
What is that line?
OCT interpretation relies on correctly identifying several key structures. One of these is the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).
What do you think is the diagnosis?
This was an incidental finding in a 60-year-old African-American female.
Where’s the hole?
Full thickness macular hole formation commences in the outer retina and progresses inward.
What a difference a little contrast can make
This edition of the EyeCarePD newsletter is about the importance of viewing macular OCT images with different contrast and background color settings.
INTERPRET:006
OCT evaluation is a skill in pattern recognition. While this is not an unusual concept for eye care professionals this is not commonly discussed in terms of OCT interpretation.
