Τhis study aims to assess changes in the fovea avascular zone (FAZ) in treatment naïve patients receiving aflibercept or ranibizumab injections for diabetic macular edema (DME). Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) testing, OCT, and OCT-angiography imaging were performed at baseline and 1 month after each injection. Injections of either aflibercept or ranibizumab were administered monthly for 6 consecutive months.

Methods: This case-control study included 17 COVID-19 survivors (named "COVID-19 Group") and 17 healthy volunteers (named "Control Group"). Axial blood velocity (Vax) and percentage of occluded vessels (POV) were quantified by Conjunctival Video Capillaroscopy (CVC).

Introduction: Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular oedema (DME), and macular oedema due to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) are leading causes of vision loss, currently managed with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections (anti-VEGF). The aim of this study was to calculate QALYs in patients with nAMD, DME, and CRVO treated with anti-VEGF agents (QALYs) in a Greek tertiary hospital setting and compare them to theoretical QALYs that the patients would have without treatment (QALYs).
Material And Methods: The study included 143 treatment-naive patients with macular oedema due to nAMD (n = 79), DME (n = 57), and CRVO (n = 7), who received anti-VEGF injections as monotherapy according to the Treat-and-Extend (T&E) protocol.
Introduction: Aim of this study is to present the acute and long-term swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography findings in pediatric commotio retinae.
Materials And Methods: Two children presented with reduced visual acuity and Berlin edema after blunt trauma.
Results: Swept-source optical coherence tomography revealed hyperreflectivity of the retinal nerve fiber layer and disruption of the ellipsoid zone and the retinal pigment epithelium.
