Twin-prism stereo-separator.

Abstract

We describe a twin-prism stereoseparator for the Zeiss fundus camera which gives high-quality stereophotographs of the optic disc and simultaneously records both images on the same frame of film. The stereobase of photographs taken with this system ranges from 2.0 to 4.5 mm. It varies linearly with the entrance pupil which ranges from 4.0 to 6.5 mm. The instrument provides a reliable method for monitoring changes in optic disc topography.

[Spontaneous resolution of idiopathic macular hole type IV: optical coherence tomography follow-up].

CASE REPORT: A fifty-five year old patient with visual loss in the left eye was diagnosed to have a complete idiopathic macular hole. After a three-week observational period, spontaneous resolution of the macular hole was observed with vision recovery, all of this clearly demonstrated by optical coherence tomography (OCT). DISCUSSION: Spontaneous resolution of the idiopathic macular hole is infrequent (3-6%). OCT follow-up enabled monitoring of the closure mechanisms. Complex surgery was avoided by a short observational period.
