Background In this study, we aimed to evaluate optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters among Indian patients affected with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Methodology A cross-sectional study on Indian patients having unilateral or bilateral affection with CSCR was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, Guru Nanak Eye Centre, and Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi. A history of ocular symptoms such as a diminution of vision, metamorphopsia, decreased contrast sensitivity (CS), and defective color vision (CV) and their duration were obtained.

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study without control involved 84 subjects, aged 20-70 years, having LV from retinal diseases to examine CP changes following wearing red-tinted contact lenses. The subjects viewed Ishihara plates, with each eye separately, before and after wearing red lenses in two categories: "plates 1-21" and "plates 22-25".
Aim: We aim to find an association between neovascularization (NVn) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).
Methods: In a prospective study, 41 subjects including 28 (68%) males and 13 (32%) females having PDR were examined for neovascularization disc (NVD) and neovascularization elsewhere (NVE) clinically and with fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). A total of 79 eyes were found to be involved.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the retinal health of 80 patients who have recovered from COVID-19 using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to assess various parameters.
- The cohort, primarily male (67.5%), had a mean age of approximately 52 years and was found to have several comorbidities, including hypertension and diabetes.
- Results indicated that while most subjects had normal OCT scans, issues like posterior vitreous detachment and epiretinal membranes were noted in a small percentage of eyes, suggesting potential retinal changes post-recovery from SARS-CoV-2.
Objective: The foveal avascular zone (FAZ) is the round capillary-free zone within the macula and is supplied only by a single-layered parafoveal capillary arcade. This study aimed to evaluate the quantitative FAZ and retino-choroidal vessel density (VD) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in a healthy Indian population.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study that was conducted for evaluating the quantitative FAZ and retino-choroidal VD of 200 eyes of 100 healthy Indian subjects, including 62 males and 38 females (age range 17-50 years) having the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of logMAR 0 (20/20; 6/6) and spherical equivalent refractive error of not more than 1 D.
