Purpose: To determine the loss of follow-up ratio and reasons during the COVID-19 lockdown in patients with retinal diseases treated by anti-vascular endothelial growth factor intravitreal injections and to report the visual outcome and rate of complications of these patients 1 year after the end of the lockdown.

Methods: This is a prospective descriptive cohort study (NCT04395859) conducted at the Rothschild Foundation Hospital - Paris between April 2020 and May 2021. Patients with retinal diseases treated by repeated intravitreal anti-VEGF injections (IVI) since before October 2019 were included.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence and characteristics of foveal hypoplasia (also called fovea plana) in patients with Best disease using spectral-domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT-angiography (OCT-A).

Design: A retrospective observational study including patients diagnosed with Best disease.

Subjects And Participants: Fifty-nine eyes of thirty-two patients (fifteen females (46.

Introduction: The performance of "en face" optical coherence tomography (OCT) in screening for chloroquine (CQ) or hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) retinopathy has not been largely explored. The aim of this study was to determine the concordance of "en face" OCT with multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) in screening for CQ/HCQ retinopathy.

Methods: This is a prospective cohort study conducted at the Rothschild Foundation Hospital, Paris, between August 2016 and February 2021.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how the consumption of Red Bull (which contains taurine and caffeine) affects choroidal thickness in healthy volunteers.
  • Using advanced imaging techniques, researchers measured the subfoveal choroidal thickness before and after drinking Red Bull.
  • Results showed a significant temporary decrease in choroidal thickness 1 hour after drinking, especially in individuals with initially thicker choroids, with measurements returning to baseline by 4 hours.

Purpose: To report the use of Spectralis High Magnification Module (HMM) as part of multimodal imaging in Multiple Evanescent White Dot Syndrome (MEWDS).

Observations: HMM imaging showed a blurry mosaic pattern corresponding to MEWDS-related photoreceptors' lesions. These abnormalities remained detectable at later stages of the disease while other imaging modalities were negative.

Purpose: To compare peripapillary retinal nerve-fiber-layer (pRNFL) thickness, total retina macular volume, and ganglion-cell-layer (GCL) macular volume and thickness between persons living with HIV (PLHIVs) with well-controlled infections and good immune recovery, and sex- and age-matched HIV-uninfected controls (HUCs).

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study (www.clinicaltrials.
