Does optical coherence tomography detect characteristic retinal nerve fiber layer thickness corresponding to band atrophy of the optic discs?
The degree of RNFL thickness reduction correlated with that of visual field defects. Optical coherence tomography was able to identify the characteristic pattern of RNFL loss in these eyes.
The results of our study show that TRUS-guided prostate biopsy leads to transient voiding impairment, and therefore, the alpha(1)-blocker tamsulosin before biopsy and for a brief interval afterward may decrease this morbidity.
