What is ILM RPE?
Segmentation and analysis of retinal layers (ILM & RPE) in Optical Coherence Tomography images with Edema. The layers segmented are Inner Limiting Layer (ILM) and Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) layer. The thickness is measured and then based on the thickness the image is classified as edema or non-edema.
What is a normal retinal thickness?
The mean retinal thickness of all subjects was 249.0 (SD 21.8) μm (male 248.7 μm, female 249.2 μm). These values ranged from 191 μm and 310 μm, 95% of them were between 205.4 μm and 292.5 μm. The mean RNFL thickness of all subjects was 109.6 (21.8) μm (male 109.3 μm, female 109.7 μm).
What is normal eye thickness?
Foveal thickness in males was measured to be 232.68±21.07 µm, while in females it was 222.87±18.72 µm (p<0.0001). Mean macular thickness in males was 266±14.20 µm, while in females it was 258.21±10.03 µm (p<0.0001).
How can I strengthen my retina?
How to Improve the Health of the Retina
- Healthy and balanced diet.
- Avoiding unhealthy foods and drinks.
- Drinking plenty of water.
- Regular exercise.
- Wearing sunglass when out in the sun.
- Quitting smoking.
- Wearing eye protection.
- Regular eye check-up.
What is cup and disc in eye?
It is composed of millions of retinal nerve fibers that bundle together and exit to the brain through the optic disc located at the back of the eye. The optic disc has a center portion called the “cup” which is normally quite small in comparison to the entire optic disc.
How can I make my retina stronger?
What does red on an OCT scan mean?
“Red disease” occurs when an OCT mistakenly identifies an area or eye as abnormal. Here, the thinner RNFL of a high myope doesn’t conform to the limits identified by the normative database and is thus colored red.
What is the thinnest part of retina?
foveal floor
The retinal thickness shows greatest variations in the center. The retina is thinnest at the foveal floor (0.10, 0.150-0.200 mm) and thickest (0.23, 0.320 mm) at the foveal rim. Beyond the fovea the retina rapidly thins until the equator.
Can the retina repair itself?
Yes, in many cases an eye doctor can repair a damaged retina. While a patient may not experience completely restored vision, retinal repair can prevent further vision loss and stabilize vision. It’s important that patients get treatment for their damaged retinas as soon as possible.
