Features and function of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To describe and compare the tomographic features and macular abnormalities of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) during the disease course. METHODS: In 5 patients (5 eyes) with characteristic MEWDS lesions (hypofluorescent in ... Read more...

Progression of optic neuropathy after disc hemorrhage in primary angle-closure glaucoma.

6 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: We describe progressive optic neuropathy after recurrent disc hemorrhages in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma. CASES: Three Taiwanese Chinese patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma and recurrent disc hemorrhages were ... Read more...

Novel 3D computer-automated threshold Amsler grid visual field testing of scotomas in patients with glaucoma.

30 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: Three-dimensional (3D) computer-automated threshold Amsler grid testing was used to identify and characterize scotomas typical of glaucoma. METHODS: The 3D test exhibits a grid on a computer screen at a preselected grayscale and angular ... Read more...
