Outer retinal structure after closed-globe blunt ocular trauma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate outer retinal structural abnormalities in patients with visual deficits after closed-globe blunt ocular trauma.

Methods

Nine subjects with visual complaints after closed-globe blunt ocular trauma were examined between 1 month after trauma and 6 years after trauma. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography was used to assess the outer retinal architecture, whereas adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscopy was used to analyze the photoreceptor mosaic integrity.

Results

Visual deficits ranged from central scotomas to decreased visual acuity. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography defects included focal foveal photoreceptor lesions, variable attenuation of the interdigitation zone, and mottling of the outer segment band, with one subject h
