Case 5: Topcon 3D OCT Color Fundus Image OU Case 5: A 45-year-old black female returned for a follow-up exam after initially complaining of reduced visual acuity in her left eye. She reported that the vision in her left eye had gotten worse since her previous visit. BCVA measured 20/50+ OD and finger counting at

Case 4: iVue Cornea Pachymetry Report OU In summary: Since the reduced VA was not believed to be due to either a retinal or an optic nerve problem, an assessment of the corneal was obtained with the same instrument. Corneal pachymetry revealed subtle thinning inferiorly in both eyes, highly suggestive of kerataconus. When

Case 4: iVue GCC Thickness Patient vs. Normal Comparison OU The GCC was normal in each eye and hence ruled out optic neuropathies.

Case 4: iVue OCT Images OD OCT scans revealed drusen in the macula. However, the PIL was still intact over the drusen so it was suspected that the drusen were not the cause of the reduction in visual acuity.

Case 4: Topcon 3D OCT Color Fundus Image OU Case 4: A 33-year old white female complained of blurred vision worse OS than OD. She also mentioned burning, itching and redness in both eyes, especially with her contact lenses, which she had left at home. Spectacle BCVA measured 20/25- OD and 20/25-3 OS.

Case 3: Optovue iWeilnessExam OU In summary: The Optovue iWelinessExam revealed a normal retina but a profound loss of the GCC. In the absence of cupping and high pressures, a non-glaucomatous optic neuropathy should be considered. Since his dad had a similar visual field defect, an inherited optic neuropathy. such as autosomal dominant optic

Case 3: iVue OCT ComparIson Images OU OCT scans through the macula reveal an intact PIL in both eyes which is indicative of the 20/20 visual acuity as long as some of the papillo-macula bundle remains (which appears to be the case).

Case 3: iVue GCC Thickness Patient vs. Normal Comparison OU Note the dramatic reduction of the GCC thickness or loss of the "green donut" when compared to a normal control.
