Purpose: To report the imaging characteristics of various clinical features in idiopathic macular telangiectasia (MacTel 2) on multicolor imaging (MCI) and compare its accuracy vis-à-vis color fundus photograph (CFP) and fluorescein angiography (FA).

Methods: In this retrospective observational study, 54 eyes of 27 patients with MacTel 2 were included after institutional review board approval. Multimodal imaging with CFP, optical coherence tomography (OCT), MCI, and FA was done.

Purpose: To study the clinical features and long-term clinical outcomes in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in eyes with different sub-foveal choroidal thickness (SFCT).

Methods: In this retrospective, observational comparative study, treatment-naïve eyes diagnosed with PCV using the 'EVEREST-2' study criteria were included. The eyes were divided into three groups of thin, medium and thick choroids, based on the SFCT data of total study eyes.

In this prospective, interventional case-control study, 58 patients with unilateral acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) were recruited. Patients ≥ 18 years age, presenting with first episodes of acute CSCR, were included. Acute CSCR was defined by the presence of subretinal fluid (SRF) and symptoms for <12 weeks duration with no clinical or imaging features of chronicity.

: To study treatment outcomes with and without oral corticosteroids in epidemic retinitis (ER).: A retrospective, observational study of 35 eyes of 29 patients diagnosed as ER. Days taken for resolution of macular edema and retinitis lesions were compared in patients treated with oral antibiotics (Group 1) and with corticosteroids-antibiotics combination (Group 2).

: To study systemic association and relapses in a long-term follow-up of primary retinal vasculitis (PRV) and possible tubercular vasculitis (PTV) cases. : Retrospective, descriptive chart review of patients diagnosed as PRV and PTV with ≥1-year follow-up. Clinical presentation, systemic association, morphology of vasculitis, relapses, and treatment were noted.

Background: Multicolour imaging (MI) is a novel, non-invasive retinal imaging technology. Its sensitivity for detecting the clinical features in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) has not been previously described. The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of MI compared to fluorescein angiography and colour fundus photography in CSCR, and to describe the imaging features of MI.

Purpose: To study morphology and treatment outcomes in serpiginous-like choroiditis (SLC).

Methods: A retrospective chart review of SLC cases with ≥1-year follow-up. SLC lesions with elongated borders, thin body named dendritic (D-SLC), large lesions still with elongated borders named advanced dendritic (AD-SLC), and lesions with rounded borders, thick body called placoid (P-SLC).

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the predictors for choroidal neovascular membrane formation and visual outcome after blunt ocular trauma.

Methods: Retrospective review of electronic medical records of patients with blunt ocular trauma from January 2013 to December 2016 at Narayana Nethralaya Super Speciality Eye Hospital (Bangalore, India) was done. Cases with positive macular findings were enrolled.

Primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL) is a rare and potentially fatal intraocular malignancy. More than half of PVRL cases eventually involve the central nervous system (CNS). PVRL frequently masquerades as chronic uveitis.

We describe the multicolor imaging findings in two cases of Torpedo maculopathy (TM). Multicolor imaging can be a useful tool in identifying the level of retinal and choroidal layer involvement in TM. This imaging modality further confirms the hypothesis that TM is a localized congenital abnormality of retinal pigment epithelium pigmentation which leads to outer retinal and inner choroidal degeneration.

Background: To describe the multicolour (MC) imaging characteristics associated with choroidal osteomas (CO) and their secondary complications.

Methods: Retrospective descriptive case series of eleven eyes of ten patients with CO. Findings of multicolour imaging were correlated with visual acuity, clinical features, lesion characteristics and findings from other imaging modalities.
