Predictive Association of Pre-Operative Defect Areas in the Outer Retinal Layers With Visual Acuity in Macular Hole Surgery

Carmen Baumann et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to develop methods to model the external limiting membrane (ELM) and ellipsoid zone (EZ) surrounding a macular hole (MH) to determine the association with postoperative defect and visual acuity. Results showed that predicted pre-operative defects in ELM and EZ were associated with actual postoperative defects at 2 months, and BCVA at 12 months was significantly associated with pre-operative modeled area of the defect in ELM, suggesting important prognostic information from ELM virtual flattening.

Repeatability and Reproducibility of Macular Hole Size Measurements Using Optical Coherence Tomography

Carmen Baumann et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of measuring the minimum linear diameter of macular holes using OCT, with radial mode showing good reliability. The majority of cases did not have the minimum linear diameter in the horizontal meridian, potentially leading to underestimation when using a horizontal OCT mode.

OCT Signal Enhancement with Deep Learning

Georgios Lazaridis et al.

Summary: The study successfully improved the signal-to-noise ratio of time-domain OCT images to approach that of spectral-domain OCT images using a generative adversarial network method, with empirical validation in patients with open-angle glaucoma. The results showed that image enhancement significantly enhanced the agreement between time-domain OCT RNFLT measurements and spectral-domain OCT RNFLT measurements, and RNFLT change became a stronger predictor of visual field progression in the treatment arms of the study.
