BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of 55° wide-field (WF) spectral-domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) for detecting peripheral subretinal fluid (SRF) after surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
METHODS: In this retrospective observational study, the retinal periphery was examined to evaluate the possible presence of persistent SRF after surgery. OCT scans were acquired in infrared mode to use any peripheral vessel as a landmark for better repeatability in monitoring fluid remnants.
RESULTS: A total of 80 patients (10% with high myopia) were examined using 55° WF SD OCT after successful pars plana vitrectomy (83.8%) or scleral buckling (16.3%) for RRD. A total of 18 patients (22.5%), 16 of whom underwent pars plana vitrectomy and 2 who underwent scleral buckling, showed SRF at the OCT examination during the follow-up. Potential risk factors associated with SRF persistence were analyzed, revealing a significative association with young age (p = 0.009). After a follow-up period of 7.05 ± 2.44 months (ranging from 3 to 12 months), a complete resorption in all patients (100%) within 12 months was observed. Best-corrected visual acuity significantly improved in both groups over time.
CONCLUSIONS: Using 55° WF SD-OCT successfully assessed the course of SRF reabsorption, offering a viable alternative for all those realities where technologies such as ultra-wide-field (UWF) OCT are not available.

UNASSIGNED: We review the current literature on the use of wide-field optical coherence tomography (OCT) and wide-field optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in different uveitic phenotypes as well as various sequelae of uveitis and discuss the limitations of this evolving technology.
UNASSIGNED: Current consensus guidelines on nomenclature in wide-field OCT and OCTA are described. The specific utility of wide-field OCT and OCTA in assessment of the retina and choroid using different en-face and cross-sectional slabs in various inflammatory diseases is reviewed. Furthermore, we discuss widefield OCT and OCTA in assessment of retinal ischemia and its limitations in assessing retinal vascular leakage.
UNASSIGNED: Wide-field OCT and OCTA deliver more sensitive measures of inflammation. With continued advancement in both hardware technology and software processing, these modalities will allow for more accurate assessment of uveitis, better understanding of disease mechanisms, and precise monitoring of treatment response.

OBJECTIVE: To report the individual retinal layer thicknesses up to mid-equator in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) using Spectralis (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) wide-field optical coherence tomography (OCT).
METHODS: Retinal layers were segmented using a custom designed semi-automated algorithm, where reference points were marked by the examiner to enable software to automatically compute the thickness values of each retinal sublayer at an interval of 1 mm from reference points. The values of individual retinal thicknesses in eyes with varying severity of DR were compared with the values of healthy subjects. Generalized estimating equation was performed to compensate for inclusion of both eyes of patients.
RESULTS: A total of 64 patients (119 eyes) with a mean age of 68.97  ±  10.27 years were included. Overall, ganglion cell layer (GCL)/ inner plexiform layer (IPL) complex (-31.67 microns, p < 0.001), outer plexiform layer (-6.78 microns, p = 0.002) and photoreceptor layer (-22.90 microns, p < 0.001) showed significant thinning, while outer nuclear layer thickening ( + 68.19 microns, <0.001) was noted in eyes with DM compared to healthy subjects. Thickness changes were significantly more in the macular segment compared to nasal and temporal segments. GCL/ IPL complex and photoreceptor layers were found to be significantly thin in all grades of DR.
CONCLUSIONS: Retinal thicknesses vary significantly in patients with diabetic retinopathy and understanding patterns of these changes across different segments of the wide field OCT may help better elucidate the natural progression of the disease in terms of retinal anatomy.

To examine most postequatorial retina in eyes with myopic macular retinoschisis (MRS) by ultra-widefield (UWF) OCT and to determine whether paravascular vitreal adhesions play a role in the development of MRS.
Retrospective single-center observational case series.
One hundred fifty highly myopic participants who were older than 50 years with and without an MRS were studied. High myopia was defined as an eye with an axial length of more than 26.5 mm.
All participants underwent UWF OCT imaging with a scan width of 23 mm and a depth of 5 mm using a prototype swept-source OCT device. The vitreoretinal adhesions to the foveal retina and retinal vessels and paravascular abnormalities, including paravascular retinal cysts, paravascular retinoschisis, and paravascular lamellar holes, were analyzed in the UWF OCT images. The findings in eyes with an MRS were compared with those in eyes without an MRS.
The relationships between MRS and vitreal adhesions to the retinal vessels or to the fovea were determined.
An MRS was found in 49 of the 150 eyes (33%). Vitreal adhesions to the retinal vessels were found more frequently in eyes with an MRS than in eyes without an MRS (63% vs. 44%; P = 0.04). In contrast, the number of eyes with adhesions to the fovea in eyes with an MRS was not significantly different from that in eyes without an MRS (57% vs. 59%). Paravascular lesions, for example, retinal cysts, retinoschisis, and lamellar holes, were more common in eyes with an MRS than in eyes without an MRS (71% vs. 36%, 61% vs. 17 %, and 20% vs. 8% [P < 0.001, P < 0.001, and P = 0.03], respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that the presence of paravascular vitreal adhesions was a significant predictor for MRS development (odds ratio, 2.56; P = 0.02).
Paravascular vitreal adhesions may be related to the development of the different types of paravascular lesions including retinal cysts and retinoschisis, and play a more important role in the development of an MRS than vitreal adhesions to the fovea.

OBJECTIVE: To report the individual retinal layer thickness in healthy subjects using wide-field optical coherence tomography.
METHODS: This was a prospective, cross-sectional study involving healthy subjects. A custom-designed semiautomated segmentation algorithm was used to split the retinal layers in seven bands, and individual retinal layer thicknesses were measured in horizontal (nasal, macular, and temporal segments) and vertical meridians (superior, macular, and inferior segments). The variation in retinal thickness was analyzed in different segments at an interval of 1 mm from reference points. Regression analysis was performed to identify the factors affecting retinal thickness.
RESULTS: Twenty eyes of 20 healthy subjects with mean age of 28.9 ± 6.3 years were analyzed. Overall, nasal and superior segments (mean ± standard deviation: 279.6 ± 17.0 and 234.4 ± 19.2 µm) had maximum and minimum retinal thicknesses, respectively. A total of seven bands were delineated in each optical coherence tomography b scan in each segment. Retinal nerve fiber layer was thickest immediately nasal to optic disk margin in horizontal scan (72.4 ± 32.4 µm) and near the vascular arcades in vertical meridian. Outer plexiform layer, external limiting membrane-ellipsoid zone and interdigitation zone-retinal pigment epithelium-Bruch\'s complex showed significant variation in both horizontal and vertical meridians (all p values <0.05). Macular segment in both meridians showed the highest coefficient of variation. Age was the only significant factor affecting retinal thickness in multiple regression analysis (p = 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: Wide-field optical coherence tomography shows significant regional variation in overall and individual retinal layer thicknesses in macular and peripheral areas in healthy eyes with the highest variation in macular segment.
