Purpose: This study is to assess the possible correlation between findings on fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and fluorescein angiography (FA) in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC).
Methods: This multicentre retrospective cohort study included 71 cCSC patients (92 eyes) with at least 6 months of follow-up, who had a FAF-FA imaging discrepancy larger than 0.5 optic disc diameters in size in the corresponding areas of hyperfluorescent abnormalities.
Objectives: Self-Examination Low-Cost Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (SELFF-OCT) is a novel OCT technology that was specifically designed for home monitoring of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). First clinical findings have been reported before. This trial investigates an improved prototype for patients with AMD and focusses on device operability and diagnostic accuracy compared with established spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT).

Purpose: To compare very long-term results of eyes with glaucoma drainage device (GDD) after PK.
Background: To evaluate Ruthenium Brachytherapy in management of medium sized uveal melanoma, with emphasis on 5-year outcome and toxicity.
Methods: From April 2007 to October 2015, 39 patients with medium sized uveal melanoma were treated with 106 Ru eye plaques brachytherapy. At the time of diagnosis, the mean tumor depth was 3.
