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.

Four hundre…
Purpose:
To describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of children with early-onset X-linked retinoschisis.
Methods:
In this retrospective consecutive case series, we included children diagnosed with symptomatic X-linked retinoschisis yo…
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 investigate different modes of foveal regeneration after the closure of idiopathic macular hole (IMH) or highly myopic macular hole (HMMH) by vitrectomy with internal limiting membranes peeling or flap techniques.
Methods:
This retrospective observational study followed 47 IMH and 50 HMMH eyes for at least 6 months. Twenty four IMH and 25 HMMH eyes underwent internal limiting membrane peeling, whereas 23 IMH and 25 HMMH eyes received inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography was used to analyze macular hole closure, foveal microstructures, and excessive gliosis as a foveal “peak-like” protuberance.
Results:
A single procedure closed all IMH (n = 47). For HMMH, the inverted group (n = 25, 100%) closed more macular hole than the peeling group (n = 14, 56.00%) (P 29.985 mm) was linked to excessive gliosis growth.
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…
