RETINA

Purpose:

To evaluate the characteristics of bacillary layer detachment (BALAD) in acute Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada (VKH) disease and determine its prognostic value.

Methods:

Seventy patients with acute VKH disease with a minimum follow-up of 6 months were studied. The primary outcomes were clinical characteristics associated with BALAD, including features on multimodal imaging at baseline and follow-up. The secondary outcomes included best-corrected visual acuity and VKH with recurrence features.

Results:

Of 70 eyes (36 patients), 41 (58.6%) showed BALAD. The mean baseline best-corrected visual acuity and mean best-corrected visual acuity after resolution of serous retinal detachment were significantly lower in the BALAD group than in the no-BALAD group (0.90 ± 0.49 vs. 0.35 ± 0.35 log minimum angle of resolution, P

Purpose:

This study aims to investigate the postoperative refractive outcomes in eyes that underwent the flanged intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation combined with vitrectomy with or without gas/air tamponade.

Methods:

The eyes were divided into two groups (Group A; eyes that underwent flanged intrascleral IOL fixation with gas/air tamponade, and Group B; eyes that underwent flanged intrascleral IOL fixation without gas/air tamponade). The predicted spherical equivalent (SE) refraction values were calculated using the Sander–Retzlaff–Kraff Theoretical formula. Then, the prediction error was calculated by subtracting the predicted SE refraction from the postoperative objective SE refraction and the absolute prediction error was calculated as the absolute value of the prediction error for each eye.

Results:

A total of 68 eyes were included in the current study. There was a significant correlation between the predicted and postoperative SE refraction in both groups (Group A, r = 0.968, P

Purpose:

To evaluate the effect of two different A-scan rates on qualitative and quantitative parameters on optical coherence tomography angiography images in a clinical setting.

Methods:

Subjects undergoing a comprehensive ophthalmic examination were scheduled for optical coherence tomography angiography imaging using a new SPECTRALIS device allowing for 85 and 125 kHz scan rate. Consecutive registered 20° × 20° optical coherence tomography angiography images using both speeds were acquired using the follow-up tool. The acquisition time and the quality values of each scan were extracted and analyzed. The image quality was also graded in pairs by two independent graders.

Results:

Two-hundred and one eyes of 128 consecutive patients (67 males, 52.3%) were included. Mean acquisition time significantly decreased from 56.92 ± 24.6 seconds on the 85 kHz images to 39.39 ± 15.5 seconds on the 125 kHz images (P
