Does assessment of Foveal Microstructure and Foveal Lucencies Using Optical Coherence Tomography Radial scan Following Macular Hole Surgery?
Using radial scans, 71% of eyes demonstrated a foveal lucency at 1 month, whose size correlated with visual recovery. Preoperative basal hole diameter was predictive of foveal lucency development and size.
This study indicates that specific parameters among leukocyte distribution, T cell function and cytokine production profiles are altered during flight. These findings distinguish in-flight dysregulation from stress-related alterations observed immediately following landing.
