EFFECTS OF HALF-DOSE PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY ON CHRONIC CENTRAL SEROUS CHORIORETINOPATHY WITH OR WITHOUT MACULAR NEOVASCULARIZATION ASSESSED USING OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY

imagePurpose:

To assess the effects of half-dose photodynamic therapy on subretinal fluid and macular neovascularization (MNV) using optical coherence tomography angiography in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.

Methods:

Clinical information on 168 patients (168 eyes) with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy obtained before and 6 months after treatment with half-dose photodynamic therapy was retrospectively analyzed. Patients were categorized into a success (145 eyes) or failure (23 eyes) group based on the absence or presence of subretinal fluid, respectively, and clinical data were compared between them. Macular neovascularization was studied in 147 cases with available optical coherence tomography angiography images. P

THREE-DIMENSIONAL QUANTIFICATION OF INTRARETINAL CYSTOID SPACES ASSOCIATED WITH FULL-THICKNESS MACULAR HOLE

imagePurpose:

To evaluate intraretinal cystoid spaces in patients with idiopathic macular hole (MH).

Methods:

Retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients with full-thickness MH who underwent successful MH surgery and 12 months of follow-up. Custom software was applied to preoperative optical coherence tomography scans to generate fluid volume. Inner fluid volume was defined as cystoid spaces in the inner nuclear layer, and outer fluid volume was defined as cystoid spaces in Henle fiber layer of the outer nuclear layer.

Results:

Thirty-nine eyes from 39 participants were included. Postoperative 12-month visual acuity correlated with both inner fluid volume and minimum MH size (both P
