In Brief Purpose: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) using enhanced depth imaging (EDI) allows evaluation of choroidal thickness. Our objective was to analyze subfoveal thickness by EDI-OCT before and after the initiation high-dose corticosteroid treatment in 8 patients (16 eyes) with new-onset acute Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada (VKH) disease. Methods: Retrospective review clinical records. Results: The outer border choroid not evident any at presentation. Subfoveal measurable 1 week (mean, 578 μm)...

Purpose.: To investigate the structural abnormalities of optic disc pits and colobomas by swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods.: Sixteen eyes with congenital pits, seven were studied. Papillary peripapillary areas examined OCT. The entire course pit or cavity spatial relationship between retrobulbar subarachnoid space (SAS) examined. Results.: Optical images showed from their openings to bottom in 12 eyes. Shape varied sharp triangular cavities longitudinally oval...

To determine whether there is a significant correlation between the integrity of foveal microstructures and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after pars plana vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane (ERM) removal.This was retrospective, interventional case series. Forty-six eyes 45 patients with an ERM underwent vitrectomy. The area examined by spectral-domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) preoperatively postoperatively. length photoreceptor cone outer segment tips (COST) line defect,...

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of vitrectomy with inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap to complete removal ILM for treatment macular hole (MH) retinal detachment in highly myopic eyes. Methods: Pars plana technique (16 eyes; group) or removed was performed patients high myopia MH detachment. The rate reattachment and closure, best-corrected visual acuities, integrity foveal microstructures optical coherence tomographic images were compared. Results: Thirteen eyes (81%) group 15...

<h3>Background/aims</h3> To compare the functional and anatomic outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with juxtapapillary laser photocoagulation (JLP) versus without JLP in optic disc pit maculopathy. <h3>Methods</h3> This was a multicentre, retrospective study 46 consecutive patients maculopathy presenting at tertiary eye centres between 1992 2012. Indications for surgery included distorted or decreased vision. Surgical intervention PPV, posterior vitreous detachment, gas tamponade....

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the 2-year efficacy, durability, and safety of faricimab in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) YOSEMITE Japan subgroup. Study design YOSEMITE/RHINE (NCT03622580/NCT03622593) subgroup analysis: global, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, active-comparator–controlled, phase 3 trials. Methods Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to intravitreal 6.0 mg every 8 weeks (Q8W) per treat-and-extend (T&amp;E) dosing, or aflibercept 2.0 Q8W. Outcomes assessed through...

To evaluate the effect of vitrectomy on best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and postoperative complications in highly myopic eyes with traction maculopathy.The medical records 71 64 patients maculopathy high myopia (≤-8.0 diopters axial length, ≥26.0 mm) were reviewed. Twenty-six had only macular retinoschisis, 30 foveal detachment, 15 hole. The BCVA studied that underwent or without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling.The at final visit significantly improved retinoschisis detachment...
