En face enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.

Purpose: To analyse retinal and choroidal changes associated with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) using en face spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Methods: In this retrospective and descriptive study, we collected imaging of patients affected with PCV examined using enhanced depth imaging (EDI) SD-OCT, fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography for a qualitative analysis. The three-dimensional reconstruction of 197 transverse sections with EDI SD-OCT at 30 μm intervals provided a virtual macular brick through which 496 sections in the coronal plane resulted in a C-scan or en face OCT image.

INTRAVITREAL RANIBIZUMAB FOR CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARIZATION IN ANGIOID STREAKS: Four-Year Follow-up.

Purpose: To analyze retrospectively the efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab injections for the management of choroidal neovascularization in patients with angioid streaks over a long term.

Methods: In this "nonrandomized," double-center, retrospective, interventional case series, a consecutive series of patients affected with choroidal neovascularization associated with angioid streaks were treated with intravitreal ranibizumab injections (0.5 mg/0.

INTRAVITREAL DEXAMETHASONE IMPLANT IN PATIENTS WITH RANIBIZUMAB PERSISTENT DIABETIC MACULAR EDEMA.

Purpose: To study the efficacy of intravitreal injection (IVI) of dexamethasone implant as second-line treatment in patients with resistant chronic diabetic macular edema nonresponsive to 6 monthly consecutive IVI of ranibizumab.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted over 9 months. Best-corrected visual acuity and central macular thickness were noted.

Reticular pattern dystrophy of the retina: a spectral-domain optical coherence tomography analysis.

Purpose: To analyze the outer retinal and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) features of reticular pattern dystrophy of the retina using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT).

Design: Retrospective observational case series.

Methods: Consecutive patients with reticular pattern dystrophy of the retina underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination, including assessment of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fundus biomicroscopy, fluorescein angiography (FA), and SDOCT.

Clinical and laboratory factors associated with the severity of proliferative sickle cell retinopathy in patients with sickle cell hemoglobin C (SC) and homozygous sickle cell (SS) disease.

Proliferative sickle cell retinopathy (PSCR) is the most frequent vision-threatening complication of sickle cell disease (SCD). We investigated the relationship between the severity of sickle cell retinopathy in heterozygous (SC) or homozygous (SS) adult SCD patients and the clinical and laboratory data obtained during visits to a national SCD referral center. This retrospective longitudinal analysis included 942 SCD patients (313 patients with SC and 629 with SS disease) with ophthalmologic evaluations who were followed over a 19-year period by a multidisciplinary team in a referral center.

Intravitreal ranibizumab for choroidal neovascularization complicating pathologic myopia.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal injections of ranibizumab in choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathologic myopia.

Methods: A prospective case series of 32 eyes of 32 patients affected with choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathologic myopia treated by intravitreal injections of ranibizumab. Best-corrected visual acuity, fundus examination, fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, and spectral domain-optical coherence tomography were performed for the diagnosis of myopic choroidal neovascularization.

Pigmentary glaucoma secondary to in-the-bag intraocular lens implantation.

After uneventful phacoemulsification and in-the-bag implantation of an AcrySof SA60AT (Alcon) intraocular lens (IOL), a 52-year-old black man developed pigmentary glaucoma. Slitlamp examination, anterior segment optical coherence tomography, and ultrasound biomicroscopy showed that the posterior surface of the iris was being rubbed by the inferior haptic of the IOL, which was in the bag but deformed. Filtering surgery was needed to control the intraocular pressure.
