“… 6 However, on the basis of our study findings, we believe that peripheral cystoid degeneration may not only develop itself into a retinal break, but it may also be a finding that reflects the pathogenesis of RRD like traction of the vitreous on the retina. Provided that peripheral cystoid degeneration may be a predictor of RRD or retinal break, the development of peripheral OCT may change the current clinical management such as follow-up, prophylactic retinal photocoaglation 9 and appropriate vitreous shaving. 11 In conclusion, we propose further prospective studies comprising a large number of patients with RRD to verify our study findings, and iOCT may be a useful technique for that purpose.…”

“…Hence, seemingly benign findings may also be associated with the onset of retinal detachment. Chu et al 9 demonstrated that SD-OCT is a useful tool for evaluating peripheral retinal pathology and that it reliably provides structural details that may change clinical management. 9 One of the advantages of OCT examination of the peripheral area is that the subject is a living eye rather than an autopsy eye.…”

Purpose The interaction between the peripheral vitreous and retina is closely associated with the pathogenesis of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). This study was conducted to examine the peripheral vitreous and retina in patients with RRD using intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT). Methods This retrospective study included 50 eyes of 50 patients (mean age 59.42 ± 10.80 years) that underwent vitrectomy using iOCT for treating RRD at the Yamagata University Hospital between September 2015 and September 2016. Each patient underwent 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy that was performed by a single surgeon. During vitreous shaving with ocular indentation, the iOCT findings of the peripheral vitreous and retina were recorded and analyzed postoperatively. Results In all patients, iOCT was able to detect the peripheral retina and vitreous around the vitreous base. Peripheral cystoid degeneration was detected on the peripheral retina of 27 eyes (54%). Furthermore, cystoid degeneration was detected around the retinal tear (5 patients), at the detached retinal area (8 patients), and at the attached retinal area (14 patients). Conclusion iOCT enabled the evaluation of peripheral cystoid degeneration in patients with RRD. Cystoid degeneration might be associated with the pathogenesis of RRD.

“…Several efforts to evaluate CT in the peripheral retina have been made in addition to posterior pole and peripapillary area ( 113 , 114 ). Development of faster OCT systems and wide-viewing technologies have enabled easier scanning of the far periphery ( Figure 7 ) ( 31 , 115 – 117 ).…”

Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) and swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) have emerged as essential diagnostic tools in the study and management of various chorioretinal diseases. Evidence from early clinical studies using EDI-OCT and SS-OCT indicates that choroidal dysfunction plays a major role in the pathogenesis of chorioretinal diseases. Measurement of choroidal thickness (CT) has already become a major research and clinical method, and CT is considered as an indicator of choroidal status in a variety of ophthalmic diseases. Recently, CT measurement has also been proposed as a non-invasive marker for the early detection and monitoring of various systemic diseases. Among the several possible CT measurement locations, subfoveal CT has rapidly become a reliable parameter for measuring CT in healthy and diseased eyes. Moreover, recent advancements in OCT technology have enabled faster and wider imaging of the posterior part of the eye, allowing the various changes in CT as measured outside the macula to be shown accordingly. In this review, we first provide an overview of the results of clinical studies that have analyzed the healthy macular choroid and that in various chorioretinal diseases, and then summarize the current understanding of the choroid outside the macula. We also examine the CT profile as an index that encompasses both within and outside of the macula. Furthermore, we describe the clinical applications of ultrawide OCT, which enables visualization of the far periphery, and discuss the prospects for the development of more reliable choroidal parameters that can better reflect the choroid's characteristics.

“…Although these approaches have increased peripheral views, they have not necessarily captured far peripheral images classified as UWF. 3,4,10,11 One of these combinations has included merging a scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) fundus photograph using the Optos P200TxE (Optos PLC) imaging system with spectral domain (SD)-OCT (Heidelberg Engineering Co). 3 Other studies have used modifications or preexisting SD-OCT devices to allow further peripheral access (Cirrus, Carl Zeiss, and Heidelberg Engineering Co) 5 or have used time-domain OCT (Stratus 3, Carl Zeiss) with color fundus photographs of the periphery.…”

Purpose: This work aims to evaluate the clinical utility and feasibility of a novel scanning laser ophthalmoscope-based navigated ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography (UWF SS-OCT) imaging system. Methods: A retrospective, single-center, consecutive case series evaluated patients between September 2019 and October 2020 with UWF SS-OCT (modified Optos P200TxE, Optos PLC) as part of routine retinal care. The logistics of image acquisition, interpretability of images captured, nature of the peripheral abnormality, and clinical utility in management decisions were recorded. Results: Eighty-two eyes from 72 patients were included. Patients were aged 59.4 ± 17.1 years (range, 8-87 years). During imaging, 4.4 series of images were obtained in 4.1 minutes, with 86.4% of the image series deemed to be diagnostic of the peripheral pathology on blinded image review. The most common pathologic findings were chorioretinal scars (18 eyes). In 31 (38%) eyes, these images were meaningful in supporting clinical decision-making with definitive findings. Diagnoses imaged included retinal detachment combined with retinoschisis, retinal hole with overlying vitreous traction and subretinal fluid, vitreous inflammation overlying a peripheral scar, Coats disease, and peripheral retinal traction in sickle cell retinopathy. Conclusions: Navigated UWF SS-OCT imaging was clinically practical and provided high-quality characterization of peripheral retinal lesions for all eyes. Images directly contributed to management plans, including laser, injection or surgical treatment, for a clinically meaningful set of patients (38%). Future studies are needed to further assess the value of this imaging modality and its role in diagnosing, monitoring, and treating peripheral lesions.
