Figure 1From: Characterization of macular thickness changes in Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy by optical coherence tomography Macula lutea thickness by optical coherence tomography. (A) Nine macular areas describing thema ucla lutea; center ring (region 1), superior quadrant of the inner ring (region 2), inferior quadrant of the inner ring (region 4), temporal quadrant of the inner ring [region 5 (OD); region 3 (OS)], nasal quadrant of the inner ring [region 3 (OD); region 5 (OS)], superior quadrant of the outer ring (region 6), inferior quadrant of the outer ring (region 8), temporal quadrant of the outer ring [region 9 (OD); region 7 (OS)], nasal quadrant of the outer ring [region 7 (OD); region 9 (OS)]. OD = right eye; OS = left eye. (B) The location and range measure by OCT; (C) A nine macular areas measurement values by OCT in an LHON patient, the left eye macular thickness suggested that all nasal quadrants of the inner and outer rings were thinning, the center ring and superior and inferior quadrants of the outer ring were normal.Back to article page
