QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF CHOROIDAL MORPHOLOGY USING MULTIMODAL IMAGING IN ACUTE AND PERSISTENT CENTRAL SEROUS CHORIORETINOPATHY
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

THE LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP OF AUTOLOGOUS BLOOD CLOT-ASSISTED LYOPHILIZED HUMAN AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE COVERING TREATMENT UNCLOSED MACULAR HOLE
Purpose:
The objectives were to assess the long-term morphologic and functional outcome of eyes with unclosed macular hole (MH) in which the internal limiting membrane has been peeled in previous vitrectomy with autologous blood clot-assisted lyoph…

CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SURGICAL PROGNOSIS OF IDIOPATHIC MACULAR HOLES WITH EPIRETINAL PROLIFERATION
Purpose:
To investigate the clinical features and surgical outcomes of idiopathic macular holes with epiretinal proliferation (EP).
Methods:
This retrospective study included 282 eyes of 269 consecutive patients who underwent vitrectomy for idiopathic macular holes. Clinical demographic data, baseline and postoperative retinal microstructure features on optical coherence tomography images, best-corrected visual acuity, and postoperative closure rate were compared between eyes with and without EP.
Results:
EP was identified in 38 of 282 eyes (13.5%). Eyes with EP had a significantly longer symptom duration (P = 0.019), higher frequency of pseudophakic conditions (P = 0.034), presence of epiretinal membrane (P

MACULAR MORPHOLOGY AFTER MACULAR HOLE SURGERY USING THE INVERTED INTERNAL LIMITING MEMBRANE FLAP TECHNIQUE
Purpose:
To investigate the influence of an excess inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap that covers the fovea in idiopathic macular hole surgery on postoperative visual acuity and macular morphology.
Methods:
This retrospective stu…

Purpose:
To study the treatment patterns, visual outcomes and safety profile of intravitreal dexamethasone implant (IDI) used for the treatment of macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion.
Methods:
Up to 2 years of routinely collect…
