Introduction: Glaucoma and non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) are optic neuropathies that can both lead to irreversible blindness. Several studies have compared optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings in glaucoma and NAION in the presence of similar functional and structural damages with contradictory results. The goal of this study was to use a deep learning system to differentiate OCTA in glaucoma and NAION.

Methods: We enrolled 22 eyes with acute NAION and 30 normal control (NC) subjects in this study. Whole en face image vessel density (WiVD) was measured in the radial peripapillary capillary plexus (RPC), superficial capillary plexus (SCP), and deep vascular complex (DVC) using OCT-A.
Purpose: To report the clinical results of lens capsular flap (LCF) transplantation in a patient with refractory medium macular hole (MH).
Methods: Case report.
Results: A 66-year-old female myopic patient with a history of medium macular hole (MH) was previously unsuccessfully treated by vitrectomy surgery, internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and air-fluid exchange followed by 12% C2F6 tamponade into the vitreous cavity and face-down positioning.
Background: To report an unusual case of light-chain (AL) amyloidosis with progressive bilateral chorioretinal abnormalities documented with short-wavelength autofluorescence, SD-OCT, fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography.
Case Presentation: Case report of a forty-three-year-old male patient with kappa AL amyloidosis. The patient presented with rapidly progressing pigmented and hyperautofluorescent drusenoid deposits in both eyes, associated with central serous retinal detachments, a pachychoroid and choriocapillaris enlargement.
Objectives: To compare biochemical outcomes, effectiveness, and tolerance of two high-density silicone oils (HDSOs), silicone oil- RMN3 (Oxane HD) and silicone oil-Densiron-68 (Densiron 68), for the management of complicated retinal detachment (RD) associated with inferior proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR).
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective, single-centre, comparative case series of 23 patients treated between September 2014 and June 2016. The main inclusion criteria were RD with inferior PVR receiving Oxane HD or Densiron 68 following pars plana vitrectomy.
Purpose: To evaluate dysfunction in various ocular surface diseases (OSDs) including primary meibomian gland disease (MGD), perennial allergic conjunctivitis, and primary and secondary Sjögren syndromes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 146 patients (111 women and 35 men) with symptomatic OSDs was performed. Patients were divided into two groups: the non-MGD group (55 patients) and the MGD group (91 patients).
Purpose: To describe outer retinal structure in patients with Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) and correlate these results with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and patient age.
Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.
Methods: Patients with molecularly confirmed BVMD were compared with normal control subjects (NCs).
Purpose: To analyze the retinal structure in patients with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) using spectral-domain OCT and to correlate the morphologic findings with visual acuity, electroretinographic results, and patient age.
Design: Retrospective, observational study.
Participants: Data from 52 consecutive male patients with molecularly confirmed XLRS were collected retrospectively.
Purpose: To analyze retinal and choroidal microvasculature in patients with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) by using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A).
Methods: In this case-control retrospective observational study, patients with atrophic NAION (at least 3 months after onset of symptoms) and normal subjects underwent a complete ophthalmic examination including spectral-domain OCT, visual field (VF), and OCT-A. Whole en face image vessel density (wiVD) was used to assess retinal blood flow of the radial peripapillary capillaries (RPCs), circumpapillary RPC vessel density (cpVD), superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), and choriocapillaris (CC).
