Purpose:
To assess the quantitative characteristics of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) for the objective detection of early diabetic retinopathy (DR).
Methods:
This was a retrospective and cross-sectional study,…
Purpose:
To compare the efficacy of conventional laser and subthreshold micropulse laser (SML) in treating diabetic macular edema in terms of functional outcomes and changes in quantitative metrics for the retinal capillary and choriocapillary vasc…
Purpose:
To compare the long-term outcomes of sutureless intrascleral fixation of the intraocular lens versus sutured scleral fixation.
Methods:
The authors retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients who underwent intrascleral …
Purpose:
In this study, the authors aimed to identify the demographics of retinal detachment in children in the United States and to report the treatment modalities chosen by vitreoretinal surgeons and associated outcomes.
Methods:
This was a multicenter cohort analysis of the Vestrum Health LLC Database (Naperville, IL). Children (1–17 years) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, as identified by ICD10 and CPT codes, between January 2015 and August 2021 were enrolled. Demographic, comorbidity, visual acuity, and treatment modality data were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 168,152 RRDs were identified, of which 2,200 (1.3%) were aged 1 to 17 years. The mean age was 12.7 years, and 821 (37%) were women. The prevalence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment increased with age (P = 0.009). Associated comorbidities included myopia (17.3%), ocular trauma (7.5%), and history of prematurity (5.7%). Laser retinopexy alone was used as the initial treatment modality in 19%, primary vitrectomy in 23%, primary scleral buckle in 25%, and vitrectomy with scleral buckle in 33%. The single surgery success rate for all procedures was 73.3%. Of the incisional surgical modalities, primary scleral buckling had the best single surgery success rate (79.0%) compared with vitrectomy alone (64.5%) and vitrectomy with scleral buckle (67.2%) (P
Purpose:
To analyze quantitative differences in choroidal morphology between acute and persistent central serous chorioretinopathy using multimodal images.
Methods:
Ultra-widefield indocyanine green angiography (UWICGA) and optical coherence tomography images of 72 eyes of 72 patients with acute (32 eyes) and persistent (40 eyes) central serous chorioretinopathy were collected. Choroidal thickness, area, vessel density, symmetry, and intervortex anastomosis were assessed.
Results:
The choroidal area on optical coherence tomography B-scan images was smaller and the choroidal vessel density on UWICGA images was lower in the persistent group (P
Purpose:
To analyze the complex pattern of filling of the intervortex vein (IVV) anastomoses through large trunks in highly myopic eyes based on indocyanine green angiographic (ICGA) videos.
Methods:
The medical records of 1,060 consecutive …
