Although PFV is generally unilateral, sporadic and idiopathic, a genetic cause has been described in some individuals, especially those presenting with a bilateral and/or syndromic form of PFV.

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between different macular thickness parameters analyzed by SD-OCT and the central visual field (VF) evaluated with automated kinetic perimetry in a cohort of patients with pituitary tumors.

Methods: Data from patients with pituitary adenoma treated at Reims University Hospital between October 1st, 2017, and May 31st, 2018 were collected. All patients underwent an automated kinetic perimetry and a SD-OCT to map the ganglion cell complex (GCC), the ganglion cell layer (GCL) thickness and the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) using devices from two different manufacturers.

Introduction: Between 2010 and 2018, the quota for admission to ophthalmology residencies increased by 50 % (106 in 2010 vs 150 in 2018). In order to accommodate this increasing number of residents, the University Hospital of Reims formulated an agreement with the Regional Health Agency in May 2015 enabling certain ophthalmologists in the private sector to train a resident within their private practice for a semester. We will present the results of three and one half years of this experience.

Purpose: To compare the effect of intravitreal injections of air with gas on vitreomacular traction (VMT) release and attempt to analyze predictive factors for success.

Methods: The medical records of patients with symptomatic VMT undergoing intravitreal injections (0.3 mL) of either octafluoropropane (C3F8) or air were retrospectively reviewed.
