Overview
- What you will learn in this deck
How OCT sees the nerve fiber layer
- What is the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL)?
- The fibers run in a fixed road-map
- What is OCT, in plain terms?
- Reading the colours on an OCT scan
- Why neurologists became interested in the RNFL
Getting a number you can trust
- The reproducibility problem
- Two generations of OCT machine
- Do not compare numbers across different machines
What the RNFL does in each disease
- Multiple sclerosis (MS): a mixed picture
- MS: two different ways the RNFL thins
- Why one RNFL reading tells you little in MS
- MS: the catches in using OCT to track disease
- MS: what the longest studies actually found
- Neurodegenerative disease: Alzheimer's
- Toxic optic neuropathies
- Ethambutol optic neuropathy
- OCT printout in ethambutol optic neuropathy
- Ischaemic optic neuropathy (NA-AION)
- Ischaemic optic neuropathy: adding blood-flow data
- Papilledema: true versus pseudo
- Traumatic optic neuropathy
- Optic disc anomalies
- Hereditary optic neuropathy: dominant optic atrophy
- Amblyopia
Where OCT stands today
- OCT in neuro-ophthalmology at a glance
- The reproducibility fix, and the honest limits
- Why can a single RNFL reading not confirm progression in a patient with multiple sclerosis?
