RETINA

Purpose:

To analyze the choroidal parameters of patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC) and the association with central serous chorioretinopathy susceptibility genes.

Methods:

The choroidal vascular index (CVI) was obtained by binarizing spectral domain optical coherence tomography enhanced depth images of patients with cCSC and healthy age-matched controls. Patients with cCSC were genotyped for three central serous chorioretinopathy susceptibility single-nucleotide polymorphisms: rs4844392 (mir-29b-2/CD46), rs1329428 (CFH), and rs2379120 (upstream GATA5).

Results:

One hundred three eyes with cCSC and 53 control eyes were included. There was a significant increase in the subfoveal choroidal area in both the affected (2.4 ± 0.6 mm2) and fellow (2.2 ± 0.6 mm2) eyes of patients with cCSC compared with controls (1.8 ± 0.5 mm2, P

Purpose:

To measure the tangential retinal displacement and vision before and after macular pucker surgery and study if pars plana vitrectomy with epiretinal membrane peeling allows the reconstitution of previous anatomy or else it results in a different configuration.

Methods:

Retrospective series of patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane, with >6-month follow-up before and after surgery, complete with best-corrected visual acuity, optical coherence tomography, M-Charts, and infrared retinography. Tangential retinal displacement between earliest visit (TE), time of surgery (T0), and latest available visit (TL) of the examined retina, concentric circles at 0.5, 1.5, and 4.5 mm radii, and the central horizontal and vertical meridians were measured. Tangential displacement was calculated as the optical flow of consecutive infrared photographs.

Results:

The study comprised 32 patients: 15 men and 17 women. Average preoperative and postoperative follow-up were 23.4 ± 27.9 months and 19.2 ± 11.8 months, respectively. Best-corrected visual acuity reduced before surgery (0.69 ± 0.16 Snellen to 0.46 ± 0.17; P
