The Many Uses of Orbital Ultrasonography

When we think about today’s multimodal imaging, we tend to focus on the latest and greatest technology and procedures: optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus autofluorescence, indocyanine green and fluorescein angiography and fundus imaging—whether traditional, widefield or multicolor. But ultrasonography rarely makes the cut. In a primary care setting, ultrasonography is often reserved as a ‘last-resort’ tool for the evaluation of a patient with opaque media when clinical examination and other light-based imaging techniques fall short. 

Is OCT-A Right For My Practice?

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is a noninvasive, dyeless imaging modality that has emerged as an important tool in eye care. It provides three-dimensional, volumetric images of the retinal and choroidal vasculature, which are ideal for evaluating any number of ocular conditions such as diabetic retinopathy (DR), age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and glaucoma.

The Larry Alexander Resident Case Report Contest: A Rare Case of Nevus of Ota

Nevus of ota is a hyperpigmentation of the ocular adnexa and globe. Patients with this condition are usually of Asian descent and it rarely occurs in Caucasians. This is a rare case of a Caucasian patient with nevus of ota that progressed into a primary choroidal melanoma. Here we also discuss the advanced management and treatment.
