Histological Section as Compared to the OCT ImageAlthough 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 in normal eyes.
Comments and Conclusions Most patients with vein occlusions are elderly with systemic disorders such as hypertension and diabetes.2,3,4 In contrast, our patient is young, trim and fit, and without any identifiable systemic disorder. More than two decades earlier at the age of 30, he presented with a CRVO as a young, healthy adult, a

A low frequency laser beam is directed into the trabecular meshwork, which is
