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 investigate full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs) that develop after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair.

Methods:

Retrospective consecutive case series of patients who underwent RRD repair between 2015 and 2021 and subsequently developed FTMH. Twenty-three patients (23 eyes) were included. All eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy + membrane peel for macular hole (MH) repair.

Results:

The mean age at RRD diagnosis was 62 years and 52% were male. In total, 78% were macula-off RRDs. Fourteen eyes (60.9%) underwent pars plana vitrectomy alone, 7 (30.4%) underwent pars plana vitrectomy and scleral buckling, 1 (4.3%) underwent scleral buckling only, and 1 (4.3%) underwent pneumatic retinopexy. Median time from RRD repair to MH diagnosis was 116 days. Macula-off RRDs had a significantly lower time to MH diagnosis (mean 154 days, P

Purpose:

To analyze the changes in macular vascular densities (VDs) and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) over a 6-year period using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography in patients with sickle cell disease compared with unaffected control subjects.

Methods:

Thirty eyes of patients with sickle cell disease and 12 eyes of unaffected control subjects matched for age and ethnicity were examined at a 6-year interval using the same imaging protocol, including ultra-wide-field angiography, swept-source OCT, and 3 × 3-mm optical coherence tomography angiography. The macular VD and FAZ were measured on ImageJ software according to previously reported algorithms.

Results:

In sickle cell eyes, the mean FAZ significantly increased (P

Purpose:

To evaluate the differences in choroidal vascularity index (CVI) measurements between images acquired at the 1:1 pixel scale and at the 1:1 µm scale of the Heidelberg optical coherence tomography device.

Methods:
