Figure Lengend Snippet: Objective grading of various reading charts with a surgical microscope. The reticule centers on the character being used for objective measurement: (A) 20/200 character on the ETDRS chart by Alcon; (B) 20/200 character on the ETDRS chart by Bausch & Lomb; (C) J16 character on the Rosenbaum chart; and (D - E) N24 characters on the alphabetical and numerical N-notation charts, respectively.

Article Snippet: Four near visual acuity charts were included in this study: the ETDRS chart by Alcon (ETDRS-A, Alcon Inc), the ETDRS chart by Bausch & Lomb (ETDRS-BL, Bausch + Lomb), the Rosenbaum near vision chart (Veatch Ophthalmic Instruments), and the N-notation chart.

Various Bland−Altman plots depicting comparisons between (A) ETDRS-BL against ETDRS-A, (B) ETDRS-A against N-notation chart letters, (C) ETDRS-A against N-notation chart numbers, (D) ETDRS-A against Rosenbaum chart numbers, (E) ETDRS-BL against N-notation chart letters, (F) ETDRS-BL against N-notation chart numbers, and (G) ETDRS-BL against Rosenbaum chart numbers. ETDRS-A = ETDRS chart by Alcon; ETDRS-BL = ETDRS chart by Bausch & Lomb; logMAR = logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution.

Article Title: Pascal short-pulse plus subthreshold endpoint management laser therapy for diabetic macular edema: the “sandwich technique”

doi: 10.1186/s40942-022-00381-5

Figure Lengend Snippet: Patient with chronic and recurrent DME that required anti-VEGF therapy. A CST map overlying near-IR image revealing diffuse CI-DME. B Late phase of fluorescein angiography showing cystoid hyperfluorescent leaking (dashed red rectangle). C Baseline SD-OCT showing hyporreflective inner retinal cysts and atrophic outer retinal lesions located temporally to the fovea from previous ETDRS laser therapy (yellow arrowheads). The CST measured 424 µm. Illustrative IVR (intravitreal ranibizumab) injection combined with SWiT laser therapy (SPD, green arrows and EpM, light purple stars). Baseline BCVA (Snellen) was 20/50. D Five months after SWiT laser therapy with CST map showing an absence of DME. E Late phase of fluorescein angiography without leaking (dashed red rectangle) and presence of tiny hypofluorescent dots spread widely on the macular area, as a result of the SPD laser array (green arrowheads). Also, representative invisible EpM laser targets (light purple stars). F SD-OCT image of a five-month resolved macular edema showing hyperreflective dots in the outer retina due to photothermal cell activation from the SPD laser pattern (green asterisks) and subthreshold anatomical representative EpM targets (pink asterisks). The atrophic outer retinal lesions located temporally to the fovea from previous ETDRS laser therapy were maintained (yellow asterisks). Interestingly, the CST decreased to 294 µm. G Eighteen months later, the SD-OCT still showed a stable CST of 287 µm, and correlated visual acuity improvement (Snellen BCVA of 20/25) was obtained since the 5-month follow-up visit

Article Snippet: All patients underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examination comprising the BCVA test with an ETDRS vision chart, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy, near-infrared reflectance scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, fluorescein angiography, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) (Spectralis; Heidelberg Engineering, Germany).

Article Title: Validation of Electronic Visual Acuity (EVA) Measurement Against Standardised ETDRS Charts In Patients With Visual Field Loss From Inherited Retinal Degenerations

doi: 10.1136/bjophthalmol-2019-315124

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of visual field loss on reading ability on ETDRS charts. (A) Microperimetry of the remaining central visual field in one eye with advanced choroideremia. The colored areas indicate the seeing parts of the retina. (B) ETDRS chart for measuring visual acuity. (C) A simulation of the appearance of the chart in B to the eye in A, making it difficult to track across the letters and obtain an accurate measure of visual acuity. (D) E-ETDRS presentation with single letter on the center of the screen. (E) EVA-SL presentation with a single line of letters across the center of the screen. (F) Simulation of visual field loss on EVA, the patient can more easily search around the letter as it stays within a limited area.

Article Snippet: Visual acuity was measured twice using ETDRS charts, EVA automated single letter (E-ETDRS) and EVA single line (EVA-SL) presentation (EMMES, USA).

Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Test preference of the patient participants after presentation of ETDRS chart and E-ETDRS only; B) test preference after completion of all three tests. Line thickness indicates number of participant responses. For both diagrams, the key represents how many patients contributed to each line based on thickness. C) The reason for test preference after completion of ETDRS Charts and E-ETDRS charts. Reasons were assigned to one of three broad categories, identified by the colored background. D) Test preference after completion of all three tests (ETDRS charts, E-ETDRS and EVA-SL), and reasons given to support test preference. Line thickness indicates number of participant responses. Line colour indicates preferred test. Where more than one reason was given, both are included. Reasons are grouped according to thematic content.
