Purpose:
To describe the clinical and imaging features of sarcoid granuloma of the choroid and ciliary body.
Methods:
Retrospective case series of patients with choroid and/or ciliary body sarcoid granuloma managed at the Ocular Oncology Ser…
Purpose:
To determine the effect of combined macular spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and ultrawide field retinal imaging (UWFI) within a telemedicine program.
Methods:
Comparative cohort study of consecutive patients wi…
Purpose:
To investigate factors associated with 3-month or 1-year best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after vitrectomy with subretinal tissue plasminogen activator injection for submacular hemorrhage (SMH) and to identify the predictors of early displacement.
Methods:
This prospective cohort study included consecutive eyes with SMH complicating neovascular age-related macular degeneration or retinal macroaneurysm that underwent vitrectomy with subretinal tissue plasminogen activator injection and were followed up for at least 3 months. Parameters that correlated with 3-month BCVA, 1-year BCVA, and 2-week displacement grade (0–3) were identified.
Results:
Twenty-nine eyes of 29 patients (73.1 ± 8.4 years; neovascular age-related macular degeneration, 25 eyes) were included. Logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution BCVA improved 3 months after the surgery (baseline, 0.76 [20/115] ± 0.35; 3-month, 0.51 [20/65] ± 0.32; P = 0.006). In multivariable analyses, 1-year logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution BCVA correlated with age (P = 0.007, β = 0.39) and SMH recurrence within 1 year after surgery (P
Purpose:
To assess the characteristics of completed panretinal photocoagulation (PRP), using ultra-widefield imaging in proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Methods:
Quantitative assessment of ultra-widefield imaging images of 133 patients wi…
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of an optimized method to clearly remove the subretinal proliferative tissue by transscleral puncture into the subretinal space in patients with grade C proliferative vitre…
Purpose:
To compare three different internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling techniques, including standard ILM peeling, fovea-sparing ILM peeling, and inverted ILM flap (ILMF), in the treatment of myopic traction maculopathy with high risk of postoperative macular hole development.
Method:
This retrospective cohort study enrolled 101 eyes suffering from lamellar macular hole combined with myopic traction maculopathy in 98 consecutive patients who underwent vitrectomy with either standard ILM peeling, fovea-sparing ILM peeling, or ILMF from July 2017 to August 2020. All patients were followed up for at least 12 months after surgery. Best-corrected visual acuity, macular anatomical outcomes, and postoperative full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) formation were evaluated.
Results:
No significant differences were found among the three surgical groups in baseline characteristics. 12 months after surgery, the mean best-corrected visual acuity was significantly improved (P
Purpose:
To describe specific clinical, multimodal imaging, and natural history features of an unusual variant of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy.
Methods:
Retrospective, observational, longitudinal, multicenter case series. Patients ex…
Purpose:
To investigate an alternative surgical method for macular hole repair without fluid–air exchange, gas tamponade, and prone positioning.
Methods:
Eighteen eyes of 17 patients with macular holes underwent minimal posterior pole vitrec…
Purpose:
To describe presence and distribution of pores of the inner limiting membrane (ILM) in eyes with vitreomaculopathies.
Methods:
Inner limiting membrane specimens were harvested from 117 eyes of 117 patients during vitrectomy with mem…
Purpose:
We evaluated the clinical outcomes of intraocular inflammation (IOI) of eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) injected with brolucizumab in our tertiary referral center.
