Aim: To analyse the macular vascularisation changes analysed using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) after successful rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair by comparing gas silicone oil and macula-on macula-off.
Methods: This retrospective data collection included 77 eyes with RRD that underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and gas or silicone oil tamponade. We performed an OCTA during the postoperative control between 6 and 24mo after the last surgery and evaluated the main parameters measured by OCTA: foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and parafoveolar vascular density (PVD) in the superficial capillary plexus.
Background And Purpose: The etiology of keratoconus (KC) is probably multifactorial but remains essentially unknown. Previous scientific observations have suggested that hypothyroidism might play a role in the development and progression of KC. The purpose of this study was to analyze the tomographic and biomechanical parameters in KC patients with or without hypothyroidism.
