Machine learning identified characteristic visual field patterns in dominant optic atrophy, showing central/ceco-central defects are common. This tool can objectively quantify disease progression and link genotype to functional severity.

This study compared AFG3L2, ACO2, and OPA1-related Dominant Optic Atrophy. ACO2-DOA showed better retinal ganglion cell preservation than AFG3L2/OPA1-DOA, implying different disease mechanisms despite similar clinical presentation.

OCT showed that in LHON, presymptomatic optic nerve thickening in sector 8 is followed by its thinning, marking the transition to affected status, a key structural biomarker for early detection.

This study found early LHON involves increased optic disk blood flow before structural nerve loss, then perfusion drops. This suggests optic disk perfusion is a promising biomarker for LHON diagnosis and monitoring.

This study found specific, progressive macular nerve fiber and ganglion cell thinning patterns in acute LHON, detectable presymptomatically. This informs future therapies for high-risk individuals and early LHON patients.

This study compared ONH measurements from TD-OCT and SD-OCT, finding significant differences in disc area, rim area, and cup-to-disc ratios. These devices are not interchangeable for glaucoma management.

Axial length impacts OCT measurements of RNFL thickness and optic disc size; longer eyes show thinner RNFL/smaller discs, necessitating magnification correction for accurate glaucoma assessment.

Barboni Piero, Savini Giacomo, Parisi Vincenzo, Carbonelli Michele, La Morgia Chiara, Maresca Alessandra et al.

OCT showed dominant optic atrophy patients have significantly reduced retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, particularly temporal/inferior. This suggests fewer axons at birth, with further age-related loss contributing to visual decline.

SD-OCT offers improved repeatability and diagnostic sensitivity over TD-OCT for glaucoma, with new software enhancing detection. This allows more reliable diagnosis and progression monitoring.

This study compared RNFL thickness measurements between Cirrus-HD OCT and RTVue in healthy eyes, finding RTVue consistently measured thicker, making the results non-interchangeable for clinical comparison.

Barboni Piero, Carbonelli Michele, Savini Giacomo, Foscarini Beatrice, Parisi Vincenzo, Valentino Maria L et al.

OPA1 mutations in dominant optic atrophy patients cause significantly smaller optic nerve heads, a finding that may be mutation-specific and relevant for disease pathogenesis and normal ONH size variation.

Longitudinal OCT of LHON patients showed initial RNFL thickening (temporal/inferior), followed by widespread thinning. This dynamic evolution suggests a 3-month therapeutic window.

This study found larger optic discs in LHON carriers and those with visual recovery, suggesting larger disc size may protect against LHON onset and aid recovery.

This study found adjusting OCT's cup-offset based on cup depth significantly improves agreement with stereophotography for vertical cup-to-disc ratio, enhancing glaucoma diagnostic accuracy.

OCT reveals distinct retinal nerve fiber layer thinning patterns in NAION patients, correlating with specific visual field defects, aiding understanding of disease progression.

This study characterized childhood-onset LHON, finding varied courses and better visual outcomes in slowly progressive cases. These unique features aid LHON pathophysiology understanding and differential diagnosis of childhood vision loss.
