To compare optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) with traditional multimodal imaging in patients exudative age-related macular degeneration terms of guiding the treatment decision.Prospective case series 80 eyes 73 consecutive (39 women, mean age: 79.4 ± 5.3 years) diagnosed different types choroidal neovascularization (CNV) (58 Type I, 2 II, 6 mixed I and 3 retinal angiomatous proliferation, 11 degeneration-related polyps). The data obtained from imaging, based on fluorescein...
The introduction of wide field optical coherence tomography (WF-OCT) has provided newer insights in the imaging peripheral choroid. We evaluated choroidal thickness (CT) and large vessel (LCVT) 20 eyes horizontal vertical meridians using WF-OCT. A high-definition line scan through fovea both meridian was captured primary extremes gaze to obtain scans up mid-equator. CT LCVT measurements were done across predefined points macular area all quadrants. calculated after identifying a near...
Purpose: To investigate efficacy and safety of repeated dexamethasone (DEX) implants over 24 months, in diabetic macular edema (DME) eyes that were treatment naive compared with refractory to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment, a real-life environment. Methods: This multicenter international retrospective study assessed best-corrected visual acuity central subfield thickness (CST) injections treated implants. Safety data (intraocular pressure rise cataract surgery) recorded....
To describe optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings in eyes with Behçet uveitis (BU) and to compare these those of fluorescein (FA).Prospective, comparative, cross-sectional study. Patients presenting clinically active BU involving the posterior segment were evaluated using FA, spectral domain (SD-OCT), OCTA. Optical angiograms reviewed analyzed. Foveal avascular zone areas vessel densities also reported.Twenty-five patients (44 eyes) included. Perifoveal microvascular...
Abstract Purpose To investigate disorganization of retinal inner layers ( DRIL ) as a biomarker in eyes with diabetic macular oedema DME treated by intravitreal dexamethasone DEX implant. Methods Multicentre, retrospective study including implant and follow‐up 12 months after the first injection. OCT scans were evaluated for presence other structural features. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) central subfield thickness CST recorded at baseline 2, 4, 6 treatment. Correlation between...
<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> To report the optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) findings in an exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patient presenting mixed type I and II choroidal neovascularization (CNV) during follow-up after intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) trap treatment. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The clinical assessment included both traditional multimodal imaging, based on fluorescein (FA),...
To suggest a clinical distinction between idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and secondary polyps associated with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NV-AMD).The study was retrospective case series of 52 eyes consecutive patients (31 females 21 males) diagnosed PCV. Initial diagnosis based on scanning laser ophthalmoscope-indocyanine green angiography (SLO-ICGA) in association fluorescein (FA) optical coherence tomography (OCT). All the data images were analyzed...
To evaluate on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A), the predictive role of different qualitative findings choroidal neovascularisations (CNV) in assessing status exudative age-related macular degeneration (eAMD) and to develop a potential model predict CNV activity.Retrospective review multimodal imaging records patients with eAMD obtained during treatment for type 1 or 2 CNV. The analysis CNVs OCT angiograms assessed presence absence tiny branching vessels, loops, peripheral...
To compare the number of eye surgical procedures performed in Italy 2 months following beginning lockdown (study period) because COVID-19 epidemic with those two earlier same year (intra-year control) and period 2019 corresponding to (inter-year control).Retrospective analysis carried out at 39 Academic hospitals. A distinction was made between elective urgent procedures. Intravitreal injections were also considered. Percentages for all incidence rate ratios (IRR) rhegmatogenous retinal...
Artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL)-based systems have gained wide interest in macular disorders, including diabetic edema (DME). This paper aims to validate an AI algorithm for identifying quantifying different major optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers DME eyes by comparing the human expert manual examination. Intraretinal (IRF) subretinal fluid (SRF) detection volumes, external limiting-membrane (ELM) ellipsoid zone (EZ) integrity, hyperreflective retina foci...
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) represents the main cause of vision loss among working age people. A prompt screening this condition may prevent its worst complications. This study aims to validate in-built artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm Selena+ a handheld fundus camera (Optomed Aurora, Optomed, Oulu, Finland) in first line real-world clinical setting.It was an observational cross-sectional including 256 eyes consecutive patients. The sample included both diabetic and non-diabetic Each...
To characterize quantitative optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) parameters in active neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) patients under treatment and remission nAMD patients.Retrospective, cross-sectional study.One hundred four of whom 72 were Group 1 (active nAMD) 32 2 (remission based on SD-OCT (Spectral Domain OCT) qualitative morphology.This study was conducted at the Centre Ophtalmologique de l'Odeon between June 2016 December 2017. Eyes analyzed using...
Purpose: To investigate by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) the choroidal vascular response to experimentally increased blood pressure in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Methods: For this multicenter, observational, case-control study, we enrolled 35 an established diagnose of CSCR and 25 age-matched healthy controls. All subjects underwent a handgrip isometric exercise obtain elevation (BP). In resting phase during physical effort, macular...
Purpose: To obtain a choroidal vascularity index (CVI) map of macular area on an Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) grid. Methods: The study was cross-sectional involving 30 eyes healthy individuals. In brief, shadow-compensated automated algorithm used to segment and binarize the individual optical coherence tomography (OCT) B-scans. This followed by three-dimensional reconstruction these processed B-scans overall thickness maps. ETDRS grid overlaid both extrapolated maps...
