Case 2: Optovue iWellness Exam Our young patient demonstrates a profound loss of the Ganglion Cell Complex (GCC). The mean thickness of normals is 95 microns with a Standard Deviation (SD) of 7.5 microns. Here the Total Thickness is about 65 microns or 4 SDs away from the mean value. In spite
In contrast to the typical presentation, this patient has a palish disc, apparent reduction of the RNFL and no corkscrew vessels. Only a small percentage of patients with a LHON mutation present in this fashion.2
Case 2: A 7-year-old WM with ADHD presented with BCVA 20/20-2 OD and 20/25- OS. Pupils and externals were within normal limits. Ophthalmoscopy revealed palish discs OU and patient history revealed a mother with light perception VA due to a mt4360 LHON (Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy) mutation. LHON is a maternally inherited mitochondrial
Example of a different case with a poor prognosis for establishing binocularity. Each pattern reversal of a black and white, 64X64 checkerboard stimulates the normal visual system to oscillate in harmony with the stimulus frequency rate. In this case, the pattern reversal rate is 7.5 cycles/sec (just outside the alpha rhythm of the brain

Histological Section as Compared to the OCT Image Although the Photoreceptor Integrity Line, or the PIL (defined as the junction between the inner and outer segments) is barely visible in most histological sections, it is highly prominent in normal SD OCTs. The PIL, as shown above, should be continuous throughout the entire scan
