RETINA

Purpose:

To report outcomes of pediatric patients with combined hamartoma of the retina and the retina pigment epithelium followed up conservatively or after pars plana vitrectomy.

Methods:

This retrospective multicenter study included 62 eyes of 59 pediatric patients with combined hamartoma of the retina and the retina pigment epithelium from 13 different international centers with an average age of 7.7 ± 4.7 (0.3–17) years at the time of the diagnosis and having undergone pars plana vitrectomy or followed conservatively. At baseline and each visit, visual acuity values, optical coherence tomography for features and central foveal thickness, and tumor location were noted. Lesions were called as Zone 1, if it involves the macular and peripapillary areas, and the others were called as Zone 2 lesions.

Results:

Twenty-one eyes of 20 patients in the intervention group and 41 eyes of 39 patients in the conservative group were followed for a mean of 36.2 ± 40.4 (6–182) months. Best-corrected visual acuity improved in 11 (68.8%) of 16 eyes in the intervention group and 4 (12.9%) of 31 eyes in the conservative group (P

Purpose:

To predict improvement of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) 1 year after pars plana vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane (ERM) using artificial intelligence methods on optical coherence tomography B-scan images.

Purpose:

To investigate the long-term changes in visual function and outer retinal abnormalities on en face optical coherence tomography after fovea-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and to assess associations between functional outcomes and outer retinal abnormalities.

Methods:

Prospective, observational study. The following data were collected at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after retinal reattachment: Best-corrected visual acuity, metamorphopsia (M-CHARTS), aniseikonia (New Aniseikonia Test), altered ellipsoid zone reflectivity, outer retinal folds, macular detachment demarcation, and subfoveal fluid.

Results:

Thirty-eight patients were included. Best-corrected visual acuity improved significantly from 1 to 12 months and from 12 to 24 months (P

Purpose:

To determine the long-term microvascular alterations associated with macular cystic changes after retinal detachment surgery with silicone oil tamponade.

Methods:

The results of two optical coherence tomography angiographies performed at 11 months and 38 months after silicone removal were retrospectively analyzed for 30 eyes. The data were compared between both measurements and between eyes with macular cysts (MC+) and without macular cysts (MC−). Two patterns of cysts were identified and compared: cysts exclusively involving the inner nuclear layer (INLc) and cysts present in all retinal layers.

Results:

At both end points, 20 eyes (67%) presented with macular cysts, 12 of them (40%) had INLc. At the first end point, vascular density of superficial capillary plexus was higher and superficial foveal avascular zone was smaller in MC+ eyes than in MC− eyes (P = 0.04 and P = 0.017, respectively). At the second end point, vascular density of superficial capillary plexus significantly decreased in MC+ eyes as compared with the first end point (P

Purpose:

To study the long-term natural course of myopic retinoschisis (MRS) with a dome-shaped macula (DSM) and to identify the factors affecting its development and visual prognosis.

Methods:

In this retrospective case series study, we fol…
