Objective: To assess the feasibility of daily Home OCT imaging among patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
Design: Prospective observational study.
Participants: Participants with ≥ 1 eye with previously untreated nAMD and visual acuity 20/20 to 20/320.
Purpose: To describe the clinical and multimodal imaging features of stellate multiform amelanotic choroidopathy (SMACH; also known as serous maculopathy due to aspecific choroidopathy).
Methods: Retrospective observational case series of eyes presenting with SMACH. Multimodal imaging including fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography (OCTA), and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) was analyzed.
Purpose: To evaluate pneumatic vitreolysis (PVL) in eyes with vitreomacular traction (VMT) with and without full-thickness macular hole (FTMH).
Design: Two multicenter (28 sites) studies: a randomized clinical trial comparing PVL with observation (sham injection) for VMT without FTMH (Protocol AG) and a single-arm study assessing PVL for FTMH (Protocol AH).
Participants: Participants were adults with central VMT (vitreomacular adhesion was ≤3000 μm).
Purpose: To present, to the authors' knowledge, the first reported case of loculated subretinal fluid associated with pneumatic vitreolysis (PVL).
Observations: A 74 year old female was followed for 9 months with vitreomacular traction (VMT) and 20/20 visual acuity in her right eye. Her visual acuity decreased at 9 months to 20/50 and she was treated with PVL.

Pneumatic vitreolysis (PVL) is the intravitreal injection of a small quantity of expansile gas for the purpose of achieving focal vitreomacular traction (VMT) release for eyes with symptomatic VMT, or inducing VMT release and closure of the macular defect for eyes with a small stage-2 macular hole (MH). Initially, there was limited interest in this technique upon its introduction for clinical treatment in human eyes in 1993. With the advent of optical coherence tomography allowing detailed observation of vitreomacular interface changes and rising importance of medical economics in recent years, there has been increasing interest in PVL, a low-cost procedure for managing symptomatic VMT.

Methods: A retrospective review of eyes with VMT treated with 0.3 mL of C3F8 gas was performed.
Purpose: To compare patient-centered outcomes in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) treated with ranibizumab vs panretinal photocoagulation (PRP).
Design: Randomized clinical trial.
