Enhancing Intermediate Vision in Patients Affected by Epiretinal Membrane Treated by Phaco-Vitrectomy.

Background: The aim of this research was to see if a refractive enhanced monofocal IOL (Eyhance IOL, IOL Abbott Medical Optics, Inc., Santa Ana, CA, USA) can provide better intermediate vision in patients undergoing phaco-vitrectomy due to cataract and epiretinal macular membrane (ERM).

Methods: A nonrandomized prospective observational comparative study enrolled patients affected by cataract and ERM undergoing phaco-vitrectomy.

Full-Thickness Macular Hole: Are Supra-RPE Granular Deposits Remnants of Photoreceptors Outer Segments? Clinical Implications.

Purpose: To describe the presence of specific morphological characteristics of idiopathic, full-thickness macular hole (MH) potentially influencing postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and surgical outcomes.

Design: Retrospective, multicenter and interventional case series.

Methods: Clinical charts and multimodal imaging pictures of 149 eyes of 143 consecutive patients diagnosed with MH, treated surgically and with a minimum follow-up of 12 months, were reviewed.

Amantadine therapy for Parkinson's Disease: In Vivo Confocal Microscopy corneal findings, case report and revision of literature.

Background: To report a case of a patient showing bilateral corneal opacities after amantadine chronic treatment for Parkinson's Disease (PD) and corneal edema associated with intra-epithelial and -endothelial depositions. After amantadine discontinuation a complete clinical remission with only a partial ultrastructural corneal recovery was reported.

Case Presentation: We describe a 78-year-old man with non-medical-responding bilateral corneal edema in treatment with systemic Amantadine for PD.

OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY FINDINGS BEFORE AND AFTER VITRECTOMY FOR MACULAR HOLES: Useful or Useless?

Purpose: To investigate the vascular remodeling of optical coherence tomography angiography in full-thickness macular hole surgery.

Methods: This retrospective, observational case series included 33 eyes of 33 patients with a full-thickness macular hole who underwent epiretinal membrane removal. Data were collected on best-corrected visual acuity, structural B-scan optical coherence tomography, and optical coherence tomography angiography preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively.

The Role of OCT Angiography in the Assessment of Epiretinal Macular Membrane.

Background: The aim of this observational study is to assess pre- and postoperative retinochoroidal vascular changes in patients undergoing epiretinal macular membrane (ERM) surgery by using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Materials And Methods: 23 eyes affected by ERM and those which underwent phacovitrectomy associated with ERM peeling were enrolled. They were evaluated using structural OCT and OCTA before surgery and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively.

OCT-A in the Management of Vitreoretinal Diseases and Surgery.

Optical coherence tomography angiography is a relatively new noninvasive technique that is changing our approach in the management of several retinal diseases such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration, occlusive retinal diseases, or diabetic retinopathy, but it could also be useful in nonprimary vascular retinal pathologies such as vitreoretinal interface surgical disorders.In idiopathic vitreoretinal interface disorders and surgical retinal diseases, the study of vascular involvement, not commonly assessed by invasive methods, could be useful to reveal specific vascular abnormalities. Such information may be useful for a more detailed phenotyping of each clinical picture before and after surgical treatment, providing potential new prognostic biomarkers.

OCT Angiography Findings in Macula-ON and Macula-OFF Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment: A Prospective Study.

The aim of the study was to evaluate pre-operative and post-operative retinal vasculature using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients who underwent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery repair. A total of 33 eyes were included in this prospective consecutive observational study: 15 affected by macula-ON and 18 by macula-OFF RRD. Superficial (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area variations were evaluated by OCTA and correlated with visual acuity (VA) during a six-month follow-up.

Morpho-Functional Evaluation of Full-Thickness Macular Holes by the Integration of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography and Microperimetry.

(1) Objective: To use optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and microperimetry (MP) to evaluate the correlation between retinal structure and function in patients with idiopathic, full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs) (2) Methods: This prospective, observational study included 11 eyes of 10 patients with FTMHs evaluated before surgery using OCTA and MP. MP sensitivity maps were superimposed and registered on slabs corresponding to superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP) on OCTA, and on the outer plexiform layer (OPL) and the Henle fiber layer (HFL) complex in en face OCT. On these maps, mean retinal sensitivity was calculated at 2° and 4°, all centered on the FTMH.
