Purpose: To assess the anatomic and functional outcomes in eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) switched from intravitreal aflibercept to faricimab in a real-world setting.
Methods: Retrospective, interventional consecutive case series. Patients with DME were switched from aflibercept to faricimab and categorized based on central subfield thickness (CST) 4 weeks after last aflibercept injection into responding DME (rDME, CST reduction >20% or CST ≤ 250 µm) and nonresponding DME (nrDME, CST unchanged or increased).
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the repeatability of microperimetry tests in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) by using two devices, MP3 and MAIA, while analyzing several retinal characteristics.
- Results showed high overall repeatability for both devices, but increased variability was noted in areas with intraretinal fluid and disorganization of retinal inner layers.
- Findings suggest that caution is needed when using microperimetry for DME patients due to instability in fixation and reduced repeatability in certain retinal regions.
Objective: To investigate the localization, distribution, and type of central microaneurysms (MAs) and their relationship with retinal vascular alterations in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, ultra-widefield color fundus photography (UWF-CF), standard and single-capture 65° widefield (WF) optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) were performed in consecutive patients with RVO treated at the Department of Ophthalmology and Optometry, Medical University of Vienna. UWF-CF, en face and B-Scans in 6 mm × 6 mm OCTA were examined for detection of MAs.
Purpose: To evaluate microvascular intereye differences in diabetic patients with same-stage diabetic retinopathy (DR) in both eyes as assessed using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, fovea-centered swept-source 6 × 6 mm OCTA scans were acquired using a 200 kHz OCTA device. Vessel density (VD) and fractal dimension were calculated on binarized, vessel-segmented images in the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP).
Article Synopsis
- Researchers wanted to see which method (MHz-OCTA, FA, or CF) is best at finding tiny issues called microaneurysms in people with a vision problem called diabetic retinopathy.
- They looked at 47 people's eyes and found that MHz-OCTA found more microaneurysms (56%) compared to CF (36%).
- Using both MHz-OCTA and CF together helped find even more microaneurysms (70%), showing that combining these methods can be really helpful for better detection.
