To describe the surgical outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs) associated with giant retinal tears (GRTs) and define factors associated with primary anatomic failure. : This retrospective consecutive study comprised primary GRT-RRD surgeries between 1999 and 2021 at a single institution. Exclusion criteria were a follow-up of less than 3 months and incomplete surgical data.

Subretinal endoscopic surgery (SES) was performed, which improved visual function. In addition, we show the intraoperative findings of subretinal aberrant PCV vessels as seen under endoscopic observation, which cannot be observed by microscopic surgery.

Retinal imaging included color fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography (FA). Four eyes of two patients with cat-scratch disease were included in this study, with a mean age of 35 years.

The purpose of this article is to present a selection of very different retinal imaging techniques that are truly translational, in the sense that they are not only new, but can guide us to new understandings of disease processes or interventions that are not accessible by present methods. Quantitative autofluorescence imaging, now available for clinical investigation, has already fundamentally changed our understanding of the role of lipofuscin in age-related macular degeneration.

Methods: Retrospective case series of patients with MFC with confirmed recurrence of CNV. Choroidal neovascularization was diagnosed with multimodal imaging, including optical coherence tomography angiography.

Background And Objective: To use quantitative fundus autofluorescence (qAF) to analyze different stages of non-neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Patients And Methods: In this cohort study, 38 pseudophakic patients and 36 age-matched controls participated. We performed near-infrared, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and qAF imaging on 31 pseudophakic eyes and controls of participants older than 60 years with non-neovascular AMD phenotypes using the Spectralis HRA + OCT (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany).
Background/aims: To study the multimodal imaging findings of a large series of eyes with cilioretinal artery obstruction (CILRAO) and describe the systemic associations.
Methods: Multicentre, retrospective chart review from 12 different retina clinics worldwide of eyes with CILRAO, defined as acute retinal whitening in the distribution of the cilioretinal artery, were identified. The clinical, systemic information and multimodal retinal imaging findings were collected and analysed.
