Background/Purpose:

To report the rate of delayed follow-up visits (DFU), to identify risk factors of DFU, and to assess the impact of DFU on outcomes in neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Methods:

This retrospective study included all patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (n = 1,291) treated with antivascular endothelial growth factor injections between January 2013 and December 2020 in 2 centers in Quebec, Canada. A DFU was defined as a delay of ≥4 weeks than scheduled. Visual outcomes, especially ≥15 letters loss, were reported.

Results:

A total of 351 patients (27.2%) experienced ≥1 DFU. Odds were greater among older patients (P = 0.005), patients treated at the hospital rather than the clinic (P

Purpose:

To evaluate the effect of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling on anatomical and functional results in pars plana vitrectomy performed eyes with tractional retinal detachment affecting the macula because of diabetes mellitus.

Purpose:

To perform a macular volumetric and topographic analysis of Henle fiber layer (HFL) from retinal scans acquired by directional optical coherence tomography.

Methods:

Thirty healthy eyes of 17 subjects were imaged using the Heidelber…

Background/Purpose:

To apply an automated deep learning automated fluid algorithm on data from real-world management of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration for quantification of intraretinal/subretinal fluid volumes in optica…

Purpose:

To compare anatomical outcomes, functional outcomes, and rate of complications of standard scleral buckling (SSB) versus chandelier-assisted scleral buckling (CSB) in phakic eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Methods:

Patients were randomly assigned to either SSB or CSB. Surgical success/failure rate, corrected distance visual acuity, surgical operating time, and rate of intraoperative and postoperative complications including epiretinal membranes by spectral domain optical coherence tomography were compared between groups.

Results:

A total of 50 eyes of 49 patients were included. At 6 months, there was no statistically significant difference between groups in primary success, or final anatomical success (P > 0.9); mean corrected distance visual acuity at any visit (P values >0.05); or mean surgical time: 120.3 ± 39.05 and 102.48 ± 43.76 minutes for the SSB and CSB, respectively (P = 0.1). The CSB had a higher rate of postoperative complications (34.8%) compared with the SSB (3.8%) (P

Purpose:

To assess the relationship between choroidal overall and sublayer thickness and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) stage progression.

Methods:

A prospective, observational case series was performed. Two hundred and sixty-two eyes of 262 patients with different stages of AMD were imaged by optical coherence tomography. Age-related macular degeneration stage, choroidal thickness, Sattler layer–choriocapillaris complex thickness (SLCCT), and Haller layer thickness were determined at the baseline visit, at a 1-year follow-up visit, at a 2-year follow up visit, and at a final visit (performed after a mean of 5 ± 1 year from the baseline visit).

Results:

Baseline AMD stages were distributed as follows: early AMD (30 eyes; 12%), intermediate AMD (97 eyes; 39%), and late AMD (126 eyes; 49%). At the final follow-up, AMD stages were so distributed: early AMD (14 eyes; 6%), intermediate AMD (83 eyes; 33%), and late AMD (156 eyes; 61%). Each group showed a statistically significant decrease in choroidal thickness values over the entire follow-up (P
