Article Synopsis
- The study assessed how posterior staphyloma, detected through ultra-widefield fundus imaging, affects the long-term progression of myopic maculopathy in highly myopic patients.
- It analyzed 390 eyes over an average of 69 months, finding that 50.8% had posterior staphyloma, with significant progression of myopic maculopathy observed, particularly in those with staphyloma (71.7% vs. 31.3%).
- The research concluded that posterior staphyloma is a significant risk factor for worsening myopic maculopathy, emphasizing the importance of ultra-widefield imaging for better diagnosis and monitoring.
Purpose: To evaluate long-term results of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a rescue treatment in patients with type 1 neovascularization refractory to intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
Methods: Patients who underwent reduced-fluence PDT for refractory type 1 neovascularization, which showed persistent subretinal and/or intraretinal fluid after three or more consecutive anti-VEGF treatments, and were followed up for ≥24 months were reviewed.
Results: Seventy-eight eyes of 78 patients were included, and 37 (47%) were classified as polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).
Purpose: To investigate the effect of the lateral decubitus (LD) position on the anterior chamber (AC) angle in healthy subjects.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-three healthy young subjects were included in this prospective observational study. We measured AC angle parameters in the sitting and the left LD positions using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (Visante OCT): trabecular-iris angle (TIA), angle opening distance (AOD500), trabecular-iris space area (TISA500), anterior chamber width, lens vault, and anterior chamber depth.
