Comments and Conclusions• Perhaps dentists have it right: X-rays should be utilized as a routine procedure to reveal abnormalities missed by direct observation.• One could make an argument for the "X-rays" of eye care: Optomap®, fundus photography and now SD OCT. These tools may become a way to routinely screen for and detect disorders often

Case 5: iVue Cornea Pachymetry Report OU In summary: Corneal assessment was also obtained for completion. Corneal pachymetry showed a symmetrical reduction in corneal thickness in both eyes. This is likely due to pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD). A full evaluation of the retina confirmed a retinal degeneration, most likely RP. In advanced RP, ganglion

Case 5: iVue OCT Images OD Note similar, but more profound findings in the left eye. These OCT sections support the diagnosis of an advanced retinal degeneration, such as RP.  See Retina Revealed #25 for numerous examples.

Case 5: iVue OCT Images OD OCT scans revealed the absence of the PIL and thinning of the retina. Some areas of pigment migration were also revealed in the macula as hyperreflective spots.
