Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) in distinguishing various macular diseases without using indocyanine green angiography (ICGA).
- It involves a review of 63 eyes from patients with treatment-naive neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and finds that SS-OCTA accurately identifies conditions like nonpolypoidal macular neovascularization (MNV) and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) with high sensitivity and specificity.
- The results suggest that SS-OCTA can be a viable alternative to ICGA for diagnosing these macular diseases, offering a reliable method for ophthalmologists to make decisions.

Purpose: To assess the effects of half-dose photodynamic therapy (PDT) combined with an intravitreous aflibercept (IVA) injection for pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV) and its predictive factors.
Methods: Clinical information of 43 patients (43 eyes) with PNV obtained before and 6 months after treatment with half-dose PDT combined with IVA was retrospectively analyzed. Patients were categorized into the sufficient (25 eyes, 58.
Purpose: To examine the morphologic changes in macular neovascularization (MNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration after 2 years of aflibercept treatment under a treat-and-extend (T&E) regimen.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the medical records for 26 eyes of 25 patients diagnosed with treatment-naive neovascular age-related macular degeneration and treated with aflibercept under a treat-and-extend regimen for 2 years. The areas of the MNV and vascular structures were assessed using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography at baseline and after 2 years of treatment.
Purpose: To assess the effects of half-dose photodynamic therapy on subretinal fluid and macular neovascularization (MNV) using optical coherence tomography angiography in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.
Methods: Clinical information on 168 patients (168 eyes) with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy obtained before and 6 months after treatment with half-dose photodynamic therapy was retrospectively analyzed. Patients were categorized into a success (145 eyes) or failure (23 eyes) group based on the absence or presence of subretinal fluid, respectively, and clinical data were compared between them.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined how the outer and inner parts of the macular retina shift toward the optic disc after surgery for epiretinal membranes (ERM), specifically focusing on the impact of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 45 eyes from 43 patients and compared them to 38 normal eyes using advanced imaging techniques to track changes in the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area and its position.
- Findings revealed that the inner retinal structure (C-FAZ) moved significantly more toward the optic disc post-surgery than the outer structure (foveal bulge), and changes in the FAZ area were influenced by its initial size but not by the extent of retinal displacement
