Abstract:
AbstractThe organization of the primate nerve fiber layer and optic nerve head with respect to the positioning of central and peripheral axons remains controversial. Data were obtained from 32 human fetal retinae aged between 15 and 21 weeks of gestation. Crystals of the carbocyanine dyes, DiI or DiA, and fluorescence microscopy were used to identify axonal populations from peripheral retinal ganglion cells. Peripheral ganglion cell axons were scattered throughout the vitreal-scleral depth of the nerve fiber layer. Such a scattered distribution was maintained as the fibers passed through the optic nerve head and along the optic nerve. There was a rough topographic representation within the optic nerve head according to retinal quadrant such that both peripheral and central fibers were mixed within a wedge extending from the periphery to the center of the nerve. There was no indication that the fibers were reorganized in any way as they passed through the optic disc and into the nerve. The present results suggest that any degree of order present within the fiber layer and optic nerve is not an active process but a passive consequence of combining the fascicles of the retinal nerve fiber layer. Optic axons are not instructed to establish a retinotopic order and the effect of guidance cues in reordering fibers, particularly evident prechiasmatically and postchiasmatically, does not appear to be present within the nerve fiber layer or optic nerve head in humans.

Abstract:
Polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) has been used to visualize the orientation of the nerves in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and to visualize the orientation of the collagen fibers in peripapillary sclera in retinas of healthy volunteers. Optic axis orientation images clearly visualize the nerve fibers leaving the optic nerve head (ONH) in all radial directions. Sclera orientation images show that the sclera consist of two layers, an inner layer with an orientation parallel to the RNFL orientation, and a deeper layer where the collagen is circularly oriented.

Abstract:
Introduction Optic neuritis causes retinal nerve fiber layer damage, which can be quantified with optical coherence tomography. Optical coherence tomography may be used to track nerve fiber layer changes and to establish a time-dependent relationship between retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and visual function after optic neuritis. Methods This prospective case series included 78 patients with optic neuritis, who underwent optical coherence tomography and visual testing over a mean period of 28 months. The main outcome measures included comparing inter-eye differences in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness between clinically affected and non-affected eyes over time; establishing when RNFL thinning stabilized after optic neuritis; and correlating retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and visual function. Results The earliest significant inter-eye differences manifested 2-months after optic neuritis, in the temporal retinal nerve fiber layer. Inter-eye comparisons revealed significant retinal nerve fiber layer thinning in clinically affected eyes, which persisted for greater than 24 months. Retinal nerve fiber thinning manifested within 6 months and then stabilized from 7 to 12 months after optic neuritis. Regression analyses demonstrated a threshold of nerve fiber layer thickness (75μm), which predicted visual recovery after optic neuritis. Conclusions Retinal nerve fiber layer changes may be tracked and correlated with visual function within 12 months of an optic neuritis event.

Abstract:
Purpose: To study the pattern electroretinogram changes in primary open-angle glaucoma patients in correlation with visual field changes and optical coherence tomography measurements of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in the peripapillary region in an attempt to evaluate the clinical value of pattern electroretinogram as an objective test of functional deficit in glaucoma. Patients and Methods: The study included 81 eyes of 81 participants: 50 primary open-angle glaucoma patients, 16 primary open-angle glaucoma suspects, and 15 controls. All subjects underwent visual field testing using 24-2 Humphrey standard automated perimetry, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness using the 3.4-mm circular scan of the Heidelberg OCT spectralis and pattern electroretinogram using CSO RetiMax device in accordance with the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision guidelines. Results: We had three main groups: normal, glaucoma suspect, and primary open-angle glaucoma patients, and the last group included three subgroups: mild, moderate, and severe. There was significant difference in the visual field mean deviation, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness, and most pattern electroretinogram measured parameters between the three main groups and in between primary open-angle glaucoma subgroups. There was significant positive correlation between visual field mean deviation and the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness, P50 amplitude, and P50–N95 amplitude (p < 0.001, p = 0.018, and p < 0.001, respectively). Significant negative correlation was also found between peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness and N95 amplitude (p < 0.001). Significant positive correlation was found between retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness and P50–N95 amplitude (p = 0.001). Significant negative correlation was found between peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness and N95 amplitude (p = 0.001) and significant positive correlation of retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness with P50–N95 amplitude (p = 0.017) in primary open-angle glaucoma patients. Conclusion: Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness shows significant negative correlation with pattern electroretinogram N95 amplitude and a significant positive correlation with P50–N95 amplitude. In combination with optical coherence tomography, pattern electroretinogram can be used to objectively assess functional loss in glaucoma.

Abstract:
Purpose: To investigate the factors in migraine that have the highest significance on retinal and choroidal layers’ thickness. Methods: Ninety patients with migraine and 40 age-matched healthy participants were enrolled in this observational, cross-sectional study. After full ophthalmological examination, spectral domain-optical coherence tomography was done for all patients measuring the thickness of ganglion cell layer and retinal nerve fiber layer. Enhanced depth imaging technique was used to measure the choroidal thickness. Results: There was significant thinning in the superior and inferior ganglion cell layers, all retinal nerve fiber layer quadrants, and all choroidal quadrants (except for the central subfield) in migraineurs compared to controls. The duration of migraine was significantly correlated with ganglion cell layer, retinal nerve fiber layer, and all choroidal quadrants, while the severity of migraine was significantly correlated with ganglion cell layer and retinal nerve fiber layer only. Multiregression analysis showed that the duration of migraine is the most important determinant factor of the superior retinal nerve fiber layer quadrant (β = −0.375, p = 0.001) and in all the choroidal quadrants (β = −0.531, −0.692, −0.503, −0.461, −0.564, respectively, p < 0.001), while severity is the most important determinant factor of inferior, nasal, and temporal retinal nerve fiber layer quadrants (β = −0.256, −0.335, −0.308; p = 0.036, 0.005, 0.009, respectively) and the inferior ganglion cell layer hemisphere (β = −0.377 and p = 0.001). Conclusion: Ganglion cell layer, retinal nerve fiber layer, and choroidal thickness are significantly thinner in patients with migraine. The severity of migraine has more significant influence in the thinning of ganglion cell layer and retinal nerve fiber layer, while the duration of the disease affected the choroidal thickness more.

Abstract:
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurological autoimmune disease characterized by demyelination of central nervous system tissue and one way this is presented is in the demyelination of the retinal nerve, causing vision disturbance and loss (Munger et al., 2006). The thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) can be measured and visualized using a noninvasive technique called Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), which is also used to measure relative MS severity (Petzold et al., 2010). One environmental factor that has been found to have a relationship with MS is vitamin D; research findings suggest that sufficient levels of vitamin D may reduce the risk of developing MS, decrease MS severity, and may slow its progression (Ascherio et al., 2010; Munger et al., 2006; Muris et al., 2013). The mechanism by which vitamin D affects certain symptoms requires deeper investigation. This research examines the relationship between serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and retinal nerve fiber layer thicknesses in patients with MS. It was hypothesized that patients with sufficient vitamin D levels would have less demyelination of the retinal nerve caused by MS, and therefore would have a thicker RNFL in both eyes based on the proposed immunomodulatory role of vitamin D found in other studies. Blood samples were assayed to measure the concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and OCT was used to measure RNFL thicknesses in patients with MS at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center Neurology Clinic. Patients with sufficient levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D had a greater mean global RNFL thickness in both eyes than in patients with insufficient levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D; however the differences were not significant. Further research is necessary in order to determine whether or not there is a correlation between vitamin D and RNFL thickness and what role vitamin D plays in MS presentation.

Abstract:
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate differences in the nerve fiber layer and glaucoma-induced structural optic nerve head (ONH) damage in patients with normal- (NTG) and high-tension (HTG) glaucoma. Methods: In this retrospective pair-matched comparative study, 22 NTG and 22 HTG eyes were matched according to the same glaucomatous damage based on rim volume, rim area and disk size, as measured by Heidelberg retinal tomography (HRT III). Visual fields (VF) were assessed by Humphrey perimetry, and nerve fiber layer thickness was determined both by scanning laser polarimetry (GDxVCC) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Comparisons of all measured parameters were made between NTG and HTG groups. Results: Based on HRT results, both NTG and HTG eyes displayed comparable structural damage to the ONH (NTG/HTG, mean: disk area, 2.30/2.31 mm 2 , p = 0.942; rim area, 1.02/0.86 mm 2 , p = 0.082; rim volume, 0.19/0.17 mm 3 , p = 0.398). NTG eyes had significantly less VF damage than HTG eyes (NTG/HTG, mean deviation: –4.23/–12.12 dB, p = 0.002; pattern standard deviation: 5.39/8.23 dB, p = 0.022). The inferior nerve fiber layer of NTG patients was significantly thicker than that of HTG patients (NTG/HTG, mean: GDx inferior: 53.5/46.3 μm, p = 0.046). SD-OCT revealed a significantly thicker nerve fiber in NTG compared with HTG patients in all quadrants (NTG/HTG, total mean: 72.72/58.45 μm, p = 0.002). Conclusion: At comparable glaucomatous stages, nerve fiber loss was more advanced in HTG patients compared with NTG patients.

Abstract:
Abstract The aim of this study was to create a mathematical model of the retinal nerve fiber layer and of the entire hill of vision, and to compare different perimetric methods and test grids in the detection of visual field loss in glaucoma and optic neuritis. A mathematical model of the retinal nerve fiber layer was developed, based on traced nerve fiber bundle trajectories extracted from 55 fundus photographs of 55 human subjects. The model resembled the typical retinal nerve fiber layer course within 20° eccentricity from the foveola. The standard deviation of the calculated corresponding angular location at the optic nerve head circumference ranged from less than 1° up to 18° (mean 8.8°). A smooth mathematical model of the hill of vision was created, based on 81 ophthalmologically healthy subjects. The model fit R2 was 0.72. Applying individually condensed test grids in 41 glaucomatous eyes of 41 patients enhanced remarkably the detection of progression. Seven out of 11 (64%) of the progressive scotomata detected by spatially condensed grids would have been missed by the conventional 6° × 6° grid. In 20 eyes of 20 patients with advanced glaucoma, the comparability of visual field areas obtained with semi-automated kinetic perimetry and automated static perimetry was satisfactory and within the range of the test-retest reliability of automated static perimetry. Using a standardized grid of 191 static targets within the central 30° visual field, the most common finding in 100 eyes of 99 patients with acute optic neuritis were central scotomas, accounting for 41% of all visual field defects in affected eyes. In conclusion, a model of the retinal nerve fiber layer was developed, which provided a detailed location specific estimate of the magnitude of the variability on the courses of retinal nerve fiber bundle trajectories in the human retina. A smooth mathematical model of the hill of vision with a satisfactory model fit was described for the 80° visual field. Individually condensed grids enabled the detection of a glaucomatous visual field progression more frequently and also earlier than conventional grids. Semi-automated kinetic perimetry was found to be a valuable alternative to automated static perimetry in monitoring advanced glaucomatous visual field loss. Using a grid with a higher spatial resolution may enhance the detection of small central visual field loss in optic neuritis.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: The antiepileptic drug vigabatrin (VGB) is associated with the development of visual field loss in around 50% of exposed individuals. The mechanisms of VGB retinotoxicity are unknown, and there is continued debate as to the best methods of assessing visual function in VGB-exposed individuals, particularly in those unable to perform perimetry. Methods: 204 VGB-exposed individuals, 90 non-exposed individuals with epilepsy and 90 healthy controls participated. Individuals underwent visual field testing using Goldmann kinetic perimetry and peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (ppRNFL) imaging using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Results: A retrospective analysis of the evolution of vigabatrin associated visual field loss (VAVFL) in individuals continuing VGB showed progression of VAVFL in all individuals over a ten-year period. More VGB-exposed individuals were able to perform OCT compared to perimetry. Measures of ppRNFL thickness were found to be highly repeatable in this population. There was a strong correlation between ppRNFL thickness and visual field size suggesting that irreversible VAVFL may be related to loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Duration of VGB exposure, maximum daily VGB dose, male gender and the presence of a homonymous visual field defect were associated with ppRNFL thinning. The pattern of ppRNFL thinning suggested that ppRNFL loss progresses with increasing VGB exposure. Subtle ppRNFL thinning may occur in discrete areas after exposure to small amounts of VGB, whilst other ppRNFL areas appear to be resistant to large cumulative VGB exposure. The ppRNFL was significantly thinner in non-exposed individuals with epilepsy compared to healthy controls. Factors that may be associated with ppRNFL thinning included the presence of learning disability, MTLE with HS and longer duration of epilepsy. Conclusions: ppRNFL imaging using OCT provides a useful tool to assess VGB-exposed individuals, and can provide an accurate estimate of the extent of VAVFL in the absence of a reliable direct measure of the visual field. Understanding patterns of ppRNFL thinning associated with cumulative VGB-exposure may aid in the early detection of VGB toxicity. Pathophysiological mechanisms of VAVFL are unknown; however, pathology of RGC apparatus is evidently implicated.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Glaucoma is a progressive neuropathy of the optic nerve. It causes degeneration of ganglion cell axons resulting in defects in the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) and characteristic changes in the optic nerve head (ONH). The Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT) is a confocal scanning laser imaging device, which measures the topography of the ONH and the adjacent RNFL. To quantify the measurements of the ONH topography, various stereometric parameters are calculated. The change in the stereometric parameters of the HRT was studied in 34 eyes with glaucomatous progression in RNFL photographs and 34 eyes without progression. The change in only one stereometric parameter, the cup shape measure, showed a statistically significant correlation with the progression of the RNFL defect. An optimised change in the best three-parameter combination had 77% sensitivity and 79% specificity for progression. The change in the stereometric parameters was compared in 51 eyes with glaucomatous progression in stereoscopic ONH photographs and 425 eyes without progression. The parameters having the best correlation with progression include cup:disc area ratio, vertical cup:disc ratio, cup volume and rim area. The parameter with the largest area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (0.726) was the vertical cup:disc ratio. A change of 0.007 in the vertical cup:disc ratio had a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 65% for progression. The factors having the most significant effect on the sensitivity and specificity of the stereometric parameters for progression were the reference height difference and the mean topography standard deviation, indicating image quality. The change in image quality and age also showed a consistent, but variably significant influence on all parameters tested. Exercise was associated with an increase in variance in 17 of the 18 stereometric parameters. In conclusion, the change in the stereometric parameters provides useful information on ONH topography, especially when image quality is excellent. However, the evaluation of glaucomatous progression should not rely solely on the stereometric parameters of the HRT.

Abstract:
Abstract This study was carried out to investigate in vivo the changes of the human lens autofluorescence (AF) with aging and cataractogenesis. Measurements were performed in the blue-green AF range (495 nm/520 nm) using a fluorometer designed, built and now clinically tested in our department. 43 random eyes of 43 healthy volunteers aged 6-86 years, five of each decade, were studied for effects of aging and 84 eyes of 84 patients with cortical, nuclear, posterior subcapsular or mixed lens opacities were studied for differences of various cataract types. The results were compared with the back light scatter values obtained by the commercially available Interzeag Lens Opacity Meter 701. Also AF and back light scatter of the lens were measured from 122 smoking males aged 57 to 76 years who participated in a cancer prevention study. The results were compared with the widely used subjective lens opacities classification system, LOCS III. In addition data was collected from 30 randomly chosen eyes of as many subjects with varying degrees of yellow-brown lens coloration in an otherwise healthy eye. We studied the influence of lens yellowing expressed by means of lens AF on visibility of retinal nerve fiber layer in black-and-white images. Lens AF profile consists of anterior and posterior peaks and a central plateau. The height of the anterior peak was used as a measure of the maximum AF value. The square root of the ratio between the posterior and the anterior AF peaks was used for estimating the lens transmission. Our technique was highly reproducible. The coefficient of variation was 3.9% for maximum AF and 2.9% for the lens transmission index. Both the maximum AF and light scatter were exponentially increased with age (r = 0.95 and 0.94, respectively; p < 0.0001). According to the regression line of AF begins to increase in early childhood. It appears by extrapolation to be absent at birth. In contrast light scatter in the lens was present even in young children. The lens transmission for blue-green light, determined from the lens AF curve, was almost unchanging with age up to 60 years. Thereafter it decreased rapidly and the interindividual variation increased.In cataractous lenses the mean AF and scatter values differed statistically significantly from those of age matched healthy controls. The highest AF values were measured in nuclear cataracts where AF was also related to visual acuity and an increasing yellow-brown colour of the nucleus. About half of the total variation of the transmission index values could be accounted for by changes in nuclear colour as assessed by the LOCS III grading system. The transmission index provided a more precise prediction about nuclear colour and opalescence than age or light scatter did. In cortical cataracts the AF curve was low and flattened and the maximum AF value was significantly lower than in the age matched control eyes. The highest light scatter values were measured from cortical cataracts, but the correlation between LOCS III cortical grades and light scatter values was rather weak. Posterior subcapsular cataracts cannot be quantified either with AF or with light scatter measurements. Lens yellowing, expressed as lens AF, had an actual effect on retinal nerve fiber layer visibility. AF measurements provided a better prediction about the visibility score than age or visual acuity did. The results of the present study indicate that the lens autofluorescence measurement may be a useful additional tool together with a subjective grading system in the follow-up of optical changes occurring in the nuclear region of the lens.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Imaging is widely used to quantify glaucomatous structural changes. Although previous studies have examined the relationship between structure and function, measured using standard automated perimetry (SAP), the true relevance of structural changes remains poorly understood. AIM: The aim of this body of work was to explore the structure-function relationship and to ascertain the point at which structural changes become associated with impaired ability to perform vision-dependent tasks. PLAN OF RESEARCH: After critically appraising previously described structurefunction models, an investigation was conducted progressively evaluating the relationship between glaucomatous structural changes and 1) estimated loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), 2) an objective measure of visual function (the pupil response), and 3) a vision-related task relevant to quality of life (driving). RESULTS: Localised RNFL defects visible on photographs, a common manifestation of glaucoma, were associated with large estimated RGC losses. However, problems were identified with the published method of RGC estimation. Asymmetric RNFL thinning was also found to be associated with asymmetry of the pupil response, and the magnitude of asymmetry required for a clinically detectable relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) was calculated. Finally, loss of RNFL was associated with worse ability to perform a simulated driving task, providing additional information to SAP alone. SIGNIFICANCE: Glaucomatous structural defects may be associated with significant functional impairment. Incorporating information from both structure and function may improve our ability to predict patients at risk of developing problems with vision-related tasks of daily living.
