Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy: Evaluation Based on 3-Dimensional Reconstruction of OCT Angiography.

Objective: Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction using swept-source OCT angiography (SS-OCTA) can provide insights into the nature and structure of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and its component parts, the polypoidal lesion (PL) and the branching neovascular network (BNN). This study aims to describe novel observations of PCV using 3D reconstruction of SS-OCTA, and to compare these observations with similar images of type I macular neovascularization (MNV) typical neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Design: Clinical case series.

One-Year Outcome of Combination Therapy with Full or Reduced Photodynamic Therapy and One Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Pachychoroid Neovasculopathy.

This paper evaluates a one-year treatment outcome after full or reduced photodynamic therapy (PDT) and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) combination therapy for pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV). After the initial combination therapy, a total of 29 eyes from 29 patients (16 for full treatment and 13 for reduced treatment), exhibited reduced, central retinal thickness and central choroidal thickness, and the improvements were maintained for 1 year after the initial combination therapy. Twenty-two eyes (75.

Choroidal Volume Evaluation after Photodynamic Therapy Using New Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging Algorithm.

To evaluate choroidal volume and thickness changes after photodynamic therapy (PDT) for chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Chronic CSC eyes with a history of PDT were selected. Average choroidal volume, average choroidal thickness, the maximum and minimum choroidal thickness of the macula irradiated area and peripheral non-irradiated areas before and after one and three months of treatment were examined.

Comparison of Drusen Volume Assessed by Two Different OCT Devices.

To compare drusen volume between Heidelberg Spectral Domain (SD-) and Zeiss Swept-Source (SS) PlexElite Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) determined by manual and automated segmentation methods. Thirty-two eyes of 24 patients with Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and drusen maculopathy were included. In the central 1 and 3 mm ETDRS circle drusen volumes were calculated and compared.

Rotational Three-dimensional OCTA: a Notable New Imaging Tool to Characterize Type 3 Macular Neovascularization.

This study explored whether rotational three-dimensional (3D) visualization of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) volume data may yield valuable information regarding type 3 macular neovascularization (MNV). In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, we collected data from 15 eyes (13 patients) with treatment-naïve type 3 MNV in their post-nascent stage and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Subjects were imaged with the SS-OCT system (PLEX Elite 9000, Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc.

Quantitative analysis of choriocapillaris in non-human primates using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).

The choriocapillaris is a unique vascular plexus located posterior to the retinal pigment epithelium. In recent years, there is an increasing interest in the examination of the interrelationship between the choriocapillaris and eye diseases. We used several techniques to study choroidal perfusion, including laser Doppler flowmetry, laser speckle flowgraphy, and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), but with the latter no standardized algorithm for quantitative analysis has been provided.

Effects of indocyanine green staining on the recovery of visual acuity and macular morphology after macular hole surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate whether indocyanine green (ICG)-assisted internal limiting membrane peeling affects visual outcome and macular morphologic changes in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images after macular hole (MH) surgery.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed of 34 eyes in 34 patients who had undergone surgical treatment for MH. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography parameters including central foveal thickness, length of the external limiting membrane (ELM) defect, and length of the inner segment and outer segment (IS/OS) defect were analyzed pre- and postoperatively.

Photoreceptor outer segment length: a prognostic factor for idiopathic epiretinal membrane surgery.

Purpose: To investigate prognostic factors for visual improvement in patients undergoing vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane (ERM) using spectral domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Participants: A total of 41 eyes of 38 patients.

Case of unilateral peripheral cone dysfunction.

Purpose: Peripheral cone dystrophy is a subgroup of cone dystrophy, and only 4 cases have been reported. We present a patient with unilateral peripheral cone dysfunction and report the functional changes determined by electrophysiological tests and ultrastructural changes determined by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Case: A 34-year-old woman complained of blurred vision in both eyes.
