PRETREATED LYOPHILIZED HUMAN AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE GRAFT COVERING FOR RETINAL DETACHMENT WITH POSTERIOR RETINAL BREAKS ABOVE CHORIORETINAL ATROPHY IN PATHOLOGIC MYOPIA

Purpose:

To compare the surgical results of vitrectomy with untreated or pretreated lyophilized human amniotic membrane grafts covering in treating retinal detachment related to posterior retinal breaks above chorioretinal atrophy in pathologic myo…

LONGITUDINAL CHANGES IN CHOROIDAL THICKNESS IN CHILDREN WITH A HISTORY OF PREMATURITY: An 18-Month Prospective Cohort Study

imagePurpose:

To evaluate choroidal changes over time in school-age children with a history of prematurity.

Methods:

A study of 416 eyes of 208 eligible participants, including 88, 190, 36, 56, and 46 eyes in the full-term control, preterm, spontaneously regressed retinopathy of prematurity, intravitreal bevacizumab (injection of bevacizumab)–treated retinopathy of prematurity, and laser-treated retinopathy of prematurity groups, respectively, were enrolled in this study. The choroidal thickness was measured 4 times at 6-month intervals using optical coherence tomography.

Results:

Of all the groups, the laser-treated children had the thinnest choroid compared with full-term children (−52.3 µm, P = 0.04). Preterm children exhibited greater attenuation in choroidal thickness over time than did full-term children (−6.3 ± 26.9 and −1.1 ± 12.8 µm/year, P = 0.03), whereas no difference was observed between injection of bevacizumab and laser treatments (−4.6 ± 18.9 and −2.0 ± 15.7 µm/year, P = 0.46). In all groups, the changes in axial length were negatively associated with the changes in choroidal thickness (all P

MORPHOLOGICAL BIOMARKERS PREDICTING EXUDATIVE CONVERSION IN TYPE 1 NONEXUDATIVE MACULAR NEOVASCULARIZATION USING OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY

Purpose:

To investigate the incidence and morphological biomarkers to predict the exudative conversion in eyes with type 1 nonexudative macular neovascularization using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography.
