Is optical coherence tomography worth it?
Apr 08 , 2025
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a valuable imaging technology with diverse applications in medicine, particularly in ophthalmology and cardiology. Its utility depends on the clinical context, but here’s a comprehensive evaluation of its benefits and considerations: Key Benefits of OCT 1. Non-Invasive and Safe - OCT uses light waves (e.g., near-infrared) instead of radiation or invasive probe...

Common causes: tractional retinal detachment (TRD) is mainly caused by the traction of the fibrous vascular membrane on the surface of the retina or within the vitreous. Adult TRD is most commonly seen in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), retinal vein occlusion (RVO), retinal vasculitis and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). In addition, trauma, sickle cell retinopathy and uveitis, etc...

Sudden blurring of vision could be a red alert for a systemic illness
Jul 10 , 2025
Exudative Retinal Detachment (ERD) is a lesion in which the neuroepithelial layer of the retina separates from the pigment epithelial layer without holes. The core mechanism is the destruction of the blood-retinal barrier or the imbalance of choroidal osmotic pressure, resulting in abnormal accumulation of plasma, lipids or blood in the subretinal space. Unlike rhegmatogenous or tractional detachm...

How can we avoid patients' tension when using a vein finder device?
Nov 21 , 2025
1) Communication Script: Transforming "Unknown" into "Knowable" The patient's tension mainly stems from the fear of unknown equipment and processes. Your words are the first line of defense against fear. 1. Popularize the introduction of the equipment (avoid using medical terms) : Don't say: "We are now using an ultrasound venous imager to find your blood vessels." It can be said: "Let's use this'...
