Impact of preocular and ocular circulatory dynamics on the vascular density of retinal capillary plexuses and choriocapillaris.

Purpose: To highlight the influence of preocular and ocular vascular circulatory dynamics on the vascular density (VD) of retinal capillary plexuses (RCPs) and choriocapillaris (CC) in patients with and without cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors.

Methods: A retrospective observational study in patients with and without CVR factors (type 1 and 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia). Fluorescein (FA) and indocyanine (ICGA) angiography circulatory times were arterial time (FA), start (FA) and end (FA) of laminar flow, and arterial time (ICGA), respectively.

Patient Perspective on the Monitoring of Their Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration during Coronavirus Disease 2019: A Retrospective Study.

: The purpose was to provide the patients' perspective on the monitoring of their wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the importance of telemedicine. : Wet AMD patients that underwent intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections in two Swiss ophthalmology clinics, completed two questionnaires after the first confinement due to COVID-19 in Switzerland. The first evaluated their views concerning their adherence to scheduled injections during the confinement, and the application of telemedicine in the future.

Comparison of adverse events between intravitreal anti-VEGF and laser photocoagulation for treatment-requiring retinopathy of prematurity: a systematic review.

Purpose: To synthesize existing evidence on adverse events, complications, and unfavorable outcomes of current treatment modalities for treatment-requiring retinopathy of prematurity (TR-ROP).

Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, EMBASE, Trip Database, and the gray literature available were searched. Randomized Clinical Trials and observational studies comparing the adverse events of intravitreal anti-VEGF injections (bevacizumab, ranibizumab, aflibercept, pegaptanib, conbercept) and laser photocoagulation (LPC) as treatment modalities for infants with TR-ROP were included.

The importance of monitoring wet age-related macular degeneration patients during Coronavirus disease 19 pandemic: A retrospective study of assessment of functional and structural outcomes.

Objectives: Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections are the gold standard treatment for wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has led to the cancellation of many scheduled intravitreal anti-VEGF injection visits. We compared the functional and structural visual outcomes of wet AMD patients who did not adhere to their planned intervals (group 1) with those who did (group 2).

Six Cases of Retinal Vascular Anomalies after Coronavirus Disease 2019: A Case Series.

Background: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its rapid spread has resulted in unexplored clinical ophthalmological manifestations. This report aims to describe a series of retinal vascular anomalies diagnosed with the use of fluorescein angiography, following contraction of COVID-19.

History And Signs: Symptoms reported by patients were central scotoma (one case), inferior scotoma (one case), and a sensation of mild loss of vision during the COVID-19 follow-up (four cases).
