Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify key factors affecting relapse risk in noninfectious uveitis patients after tapering off adalimumab following remission.
- Involving 328 patients, the research found a 39.6% relapse rate, with younger patients showing a significantly higher risk and a quicker taper increasing the likelihood of recurrence.
- Recommendations suggest considering age, race, and duration of remission when tapering adalimumab, with a slower tapering schedule preferred to minimize relapse chances.
Background: Acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy is a presumed retinal pigment epithelium abnormality that has been reported in patients with neoplasms and under certain classes of drugs. The pathophysiology remains unclear, despite the typical clinical features.
Purpose: To report two cases of acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy occurring after vaccination with a COVID-19 vaccine.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether subretinal hyperreflective material (SHRM) may mask the detection of macular neovascular membranes (MNV) on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Methods: In this observational study, eyes with active neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), co-existing SHRM & intraretinal or subretinal fluid or hemorrhage on structural OCT, underwent OCTA & fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) imaging. 6 × 6 mm choriocapillaris and outer retinal slabs on OCTA were examined to determine the presence of MNV underneath the SHRM.
Purpose: To report the observation of the choriocapillaris island (CCI) on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in eyes with active central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), and to investigate its associated clinical features.
Design: Retrospective observational study.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with active CSCR underwent OCTA imaging (Optovue Inc, Fremont, California, USA), and the software built-in en face choriocapillaris slab was examined to demonstrate CCI, defined as an area of detectable choriocapillaris flow surrounded by an area of undetectable or diminished flow.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify SD-OCT changes that correspond to leakage on fluorescein (FA) and indocyanine angiography (ICGA) and evaluate effect of half-fluence photodynamic therapy (PDT) on choroidal volume in chronic central serous choroidoretinopathy (CSC).
Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients with chronic CSC who had undergone PDT. Baseline FA and ICGA images were overlaid on SD-OCT to identify OCT correlates of FA or ICGA hyperfluorescence.
Purpose: To present a case of tubercular serpiginous-like choroiditis (SLC) with previously unreported choroidal findings on enhanced depth imaging OCT (EDI-OCT).
Design: Case report.
Methods: A 60-year-old female presented with decreased vision.

Purpose: To report the first documented case of HLA-A29(+) birdshot chorioretinopathy in a Hispanic patient.
Case Description: A 62-year-old female from Mexico presented with a 15-year history of progressive nyctalopia, floaters, and decreasing vision. She carried multiple previous diagnoses, including posterior vitreous detachment and macular edema.
