Purpose: To evaluate the role of smoking status on the response to three monthly intravitreal anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (anti-VEGF) injections in treatment-naive neovascular AMD (nAMD) patients.
Methods: We conducted a single-center, retrospective, case-control cohort study in Belgium.
Results: Intravitreal treatment (IVT) was performed in 147 eyes of 131 patients, including 92 females (70%).
Purpose: To describe an atypical case of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy with acute exacerbation consisting of severe exudation at the site of a retinal pigment epithelium aperture.
Methods: Case report.
Results: A 39-year-old man presented with a recurrence of central serous chorioretinopathy in the right eye.
Objective: Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a leading cause of visual impairment. Intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are the standard treatment for wet ARMD. There is however, variability in patient responses, suggesting patient-specific factors influencing drug efficacy.

Methods: Retrospective review of 16 eyes from 14 patients with subfoveal classic CNV associated with PIC or POHS-like and treated with PDT.
Results: The mean visual acuity increased from 4.
