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 assess the safety and efficacy of biweekly (every 2 weeks) intravitreal aflibercept injections (IAI) 2 mg in eyes with refractory neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NVAMD).

Methods:

A prospective, single-arm, interventional study was conducted. Eyes with refractory NVAMD received six biweekly IAIs through week 12, followed by a 4-week treatment pause until week 16. Eyes with residual subretinal fluid (SRF) at week 16 were randomized 1:1 to either four additional biweekly IAIs or to 4-week (q4W) IAI dosing through week 24. All eyes were subsequently treated q4W through week 52.

Results:

Enrolled eyes (n = 22) had persistent SRF despite a mean of 11.8 injections over the prior 12 months. One patient developed endophthalmitis at week 12. There were no additional drug/procedure-related adverse events. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved significantly from baseline to week 14 (2.52 letters, P

Purpose:

To evaluate the association of posterior vitreous opacities (PVOs) on optical coherence tomography with retinal tears identified on examination in patients with acute, symptomatic posterior vitreous detachment (PVD).

Methods:

Data were retrospectively collected from the medical records of 388 patients with acute, symptomatic PVD between January 1, 2021, and June 30, 2021. Included patients had received a primary diagnosis of PVD and presented with flashes and/or floaters. Optical coherence tomography scans were reviewed by two separate readers for the presence of PVOs. The primary outcome was the presence of retinal tear on fundus photograph and on examination.

Results:

Of 388 patients who presented with acute PVD symptoms, 90 (23.2%) were found to have a retinal tear on dilated fundus examination. Among these patients, 78 (86.7%) were found to have PVOs on optical coherence tomography. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between the presence of PVOs and retinal tear (P
