Background And Objective: Macular atrophy (MA) contributes to declining vision during prolonged anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) so greater understanding of its incidence, evolution, and impact on visual acuity is merited.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective review of nAMD patients receiving anti-VEGF therapy for ≥ 5 years. Near-infrared reflectance images and vision data were extracted every 6 months.

Purpose: To describe a patient with Cobb Syndrome, a rare congenital disorder characterized by cutaneous and spinal arteriovenous malformations, who was found to have bilateral optic nerve pits.
Observations: A 15-year-old boy diagnosed with Cobb Syndrome, manifesting as a large cutaneous port-wine stain associated with an underlying left paraspinous arteriovenous malformation resulting in severe scoliosis, presented for a screening ophthalmological exam. The patient had no visual symptoms.
