AGE-RELATED RETENTIONAL AVASCULAR PIGMENT EPITHELIAL DETACHMENT VIEWED WITH INDOCYANINE GREEN ANGIOGRAPHY
Purpose:
Age-related scattered hypofluorescent spots on late-phase indocyanine green angiography (ASHS-LIA) might represent hydrophobic neutral lipid deposits in the Bruch membrane. This study aimed to report retentional avascular pigment epithelia…

FOLDABLE CAPSULAR VITREOUS BODY IMPLANTATION FOR COMPLICATED RETINAL DETACHMENT CAUSED BY SEVERE OCULAR TRAUMA
Purpose:
To explore the effectiveness, safety and psychological impact of foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) implantation for complicated retinal detachment caused by severe ocular trauma.
Methods:
This was a prospective, single-arm, surgical interventional case series study. A standard 3-port 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy was performed, and the FCVB was implanted into the vitreous cavity. Observed indicators, including the best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), retinal reattachment, complications, and patient satisfaction, were analyzed to evaluate the study.
Results:
A total of 28 cases (eyes) were enrolled, with a mean follow-up of 16.93 ± 9.67 months and an average age of 51.11 ± 10.14 years, including 22 men (78.57%). The FCVB was successfully implanted, and the retina was reattached in all cases. The postoperative best-corrected visual acuity improved in 7 cases, and remained unchanged in 21 cases (P > 0.05). The average IOP was 7.01 ± 2.43 mmHg before surgery and 8.54 ± 2.93 mmHg after surgery (P

RETINAL NONPERFUSION IN THE EARLY TREATMENT DIABETIC RETINOPATHY STUDY SEVEN FIELDS COMPARED WITH WIDEFIELD FLUORESCEIN ANGIOGRAPHY: Correlation and Use of Extrapolation Factor
Background:
In previous landmark studies on central retinal vein occlusion, retinal nonperfusion assessments were obtained using 7-field (7F) angiography. The widespread current use of widefield imaging allows better visualization of the peripheral…

MACULAR THICKNESS BY USING SPECTRAL DOMAIN OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
Purpose:
To determine the distribution of macular and cube thickness and their normal range in the students aged 9 years to 15 years and to investigate their associated demographic and biometric factors.
Methods:
This study was based on the data of the second phase of the Shahroud School Children Eye Cohort Study, conducted in 2018. After measurements of visual acuity, biometry, and subjective and cycloplegic refraction, retinal examination was performed using the Zeiss Cirrus HD 4000 optical coherence tomography.
Results:
The data of 5,043 right eyes were analyzed after applying the exclusion criteria. The central macular thickness was 239 ± 19.35 μm. The mean cube volume and cube thickness were 9.94 ± 0.44 and 278 ± 12.20, respectively. According to multiple linear regression analysis, the central macular thickness was significantly lower in girls (coefficient [β]: −9.18; P

Purpose:
To investigate concordance in symptom onset, area of dark autofluorescence (DAF), and growth rate (GR) between Stargardt disease siblings at an age-matched time point.
Methods:
In this retrospective longitudinal study of sibling pai…
