Comments and Conclusions Sickle cell disease is one of the most common genetic diseases worldwide. It is most frequently seen in the African-American population. Sickle cell anemia (SS) is much more severe systemically; however patients have mild ocular manifestations. Sickle cell C disease (SC), though less severe systemically, is associated with severe retinopathy1-5. Spontaneous
Optos® Fluorescein Angiography Optomap® fa Dynamic Ultra-widefield Angiography Case 8 It is well recognized that FA reveals select abnormalities that are not visible with ophthalmoscopy or fundus photography. Optos® FA has the advantage of viewing virtually the entire fundus at once and reveals findings typically missed with standard FA. This is an example
Optos® Fluorescein Angiography Optos® fluorescein is a non-contact method of panoramic ophthalmoscopy which allows visualization of up to 200 degrees or 82% of the retina in a single capture. Optos® FA goes well beyond the 7 to 8 standard fields using fundus photography13.
