Purpose:
The smaller incision, new-generation implantable miniature telescope is a novel implant to optimize vision in retinal patients with central vision loss. Using Miyake–Apple techniques we visualized the device implantation, repositioning, an…
Purpose:
We sought to develop an efficient method for fluorescein angiography (FA) during digitally assisted vitreoretinal surgery (DAVS).
Methods:
A 485-nm bandpass filter was placed into the filter holder of the accessory light sources of …
Purpose:
To present an electrocoagulation fixation technique for one-piece intraocular lens (IOL) scleral flapless fixation with sutures without knots.
Methods:
First of all, after repeated tests and comparisons, we chose 8-0 polypropylene s…
Purpose:
For the treatment of lamellar macular hole, the recent development of a lamellar hole–associated epiretinal proliferation (LHEP) embedding technique is likely to improve functional and anatomical results. However, the peeling of LHEP is of…
Purpose:
To analyze the annual prevalence of ocular vascular occlusion in relation to COVID-19 infection and vaccination status in a prospective study.
Methods:
All patients were examined for an active severe acute respiratory syndrome coron…
Purpose:
To perform an unsupervised machine learning clustering of patients with punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) and provide new insights into the significance of pachychoroid disease features in PIC eyes.
Methods:
Retrospective multicenter study, including 102 eyes from 82 patients diagnosed with PIC. Demographics, clinical data, and multimodal imaging, including fundus photography, optical coherence tomography, and indocyanine green angiography, were collected. Clusters of eyes were identified, and multilevel logistic regression analysis was performed to compare between-group differences.
Results:
Using 17 clinical features, two distinct clusters of patients with PIC were identified. Cluster 1 patients were characterized by older age, high myopia, myopic maculopathy features, thin choroids, multiple lesions, and a higher likelihood of developing patchy chorioretinal atrophy. Cluster 2 consisted of younger age, emmetropia or low myopia, thick choroids, choroidal vascular hyperpermeability on late-phase indocyanine green angiography, and high prevalence of focal choroidal excavation. These features exhibited significant differences (P
Purpose:
To determine the longitudinal changes in the morphologic features of dome-shaped macula in highly myopic eyes.
Methods:
Patients with a dome-shaped macula and high myopia (spherical equivalent
Background/Purpose:
Within the evolving landscape of healthcare in the United States (US), delineating the demographic nuances and financial implications of emergent conditions, such as rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), is paramount. This st…
Purpose:
To investigate the 10-year visual outcome and chorioretinal atrophy after a single intravitreal ranibizumab injection followed by a pro re nata regimen for myopic macular neovascularization in pathologic myopia, and to identify the factors…
Background/Purpose:
To evaluate clinical outcomes and assess genotype–phenotype correlations in patients with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR).
Methods:
Clinical charts of 40 patients with FEVR were reviewed. FEVR was staged per P…
