Purpose:
This study aims to describe the structural changes and surgical outcomes of full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs) induced by vitreomacular traction with broad vitreomacular attachment (VMA).
Methods:
A retrospective analysis of idiop…

Purpose:
To investigate surgical results for medium-sized (251–400 µm) macular holes (MHs).
Methods:
This retrospective observational study involved 266 eyes of 262 consecutive patients who underwent internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling …
Purpose:
Manual extraction of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) reports is time and resource intensive. This study aimed to develop an optical character recognition (OCR) algorithm for automated data extraction from Cirrus SD-OC…
Purpose:
To evaluate the predictive characteristics of fellow-eye geographic atrophy (GA) without neovascularization in patients with unilateral Type 3 macular neovascularization.
Methods:
This retrospective study included 84 patients who were diagnosed with unilateral Type 3 macular neovascularization. Patients who developed fellow-eye neovascularization and those exhibiting GA without neovascularization at the final follow-up were included in the neovascularization and GA groups, respectively. The patient demographics and baseline fellow-eye characteristics were compared between the two groups.
Results:
The mean follow-up period was 40.5 ± 11.5 months after diagnosis. Patients included in the GA group (n = 28) were significantly older (mean 77.4 ± 5.2 years vs. 74.2 ± 5.8 years, P = 0.016), had significantly thinner subfoveal choroidal thickness (mean 109.4 ± 36.8 µm vs. 173.1 ± 77.6 µm, P
