Importance: Democratizing artificial intelligence (AI) enables model development by clinicians with a lack of coding expertise, powerful computing resources, and large, well-labeled data sets.
Objective: To determine whether resource-constrained clinicians can use self-training via automated machine learning (ML) and public data sets to design high-performing diabetic retinopathy classification models.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This diagnostic quality improvement study was conducted from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021.
Background: To assess the response of CNV secondary to chorioretinal diseases to IVA and to explore the adequate dosing regimen and the long-term results.
Methods: A retrospective study including patients with treatment-naïve active CNV secondary to chorioretinal diseases. All patients received an initial IVA injection followed by a PRN regimen.
Multimodal imaging of macular telangiectasia type 2 in a pediatric patient.

Purpose: To describe findings of multimodal imaging in non-proliferative and proliferative stages of MacTel 2 in a pediatric patient, and results of aflibercept use for treating neovascularization secondary to MacTel 2.
Methods: Retrospective case report.
Results: An 11-year-old girl with no history of systemic disease.
Purpose: To assess the efficacy of customized slab segmentation in eliminating projection artifacts in swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) images of Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD).
Methods: Prospective case series including different stages of BVMD. We analyzed SS-OCTA images for flow signals in the outer retina and coregistered B-scan images for distortion of the segmentation slabs defining the outer retina.
Background: The aims of this study were to provide real-life data about the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on the practice of anti-VEGF injections and to evaluate the safety of the modifications in the injection protocol imposed during the ongoing pandemic on the anatomical and functional outcome of patients.
Methods: All patients attending Tanta University hospital for receiving intravitreal anti-VEGF injections were screened. Patients who were previously deferred according to a modified protocol implemented in the hospital in response to the pandemic or who demonstrated deviation from it were included for further analysis.
Purpose: To report a rare case of melanocytoma associated choroidal neovascularization (CNV) treated with intravitreal aflibercept.
Methods: We reviewed the literature for the previous reports and different methods of treatment.
Results: Optic disc melanocytoma has been considered as a benign melanocytic tumor that rarely affects vision.
Background: To evaluate the efficacy of swept -source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) in grading macular perfusion in retinal vein occlusion.
Methods: Retrospective observational case series including patients with different types of retinal vein occlusion (RVO). SS-OCTA utilizes OCTARA algorithm to examine the retinal vascular plexuses for the presence of morphological signs of ischemia according to a predetermined grading scheme.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of SS-OCTA in the detection of silent CNV secondary to chronic CSCR compared to that of FFA and SS-OCT.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective observational case series reviewing the clinical data, FFA, SS-OCT, and SS-OCTA images of patients with chronic CSCR, and comparing the findings. SS-OCTA detects the CNV complex and delineates it from the surrounding pathological features of chronic CSCR by utilizing the blood flow detection algorithm, OCTARA, and the ultrahigh-definition B-scan images of the retinal microstructure generated by swept-source technology.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) in delineating the morphology of choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV).
Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective observational case series reviewing clinical data and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), and SS-OCTA images of patients with CNV and comparing the findings. The swept-source technology enables deeper penetration and superior axial resolution.
Background: To provide a normal database of choroidal thickness (CT) in nine Early Treatment Diabetes Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) subfields in Egypt using deep-range imaging swept source optical coherence tomography (DRI SS OCT).
Methods: This study included a total of 129 eyes of 71 normal Egyptian subjects, comprising 63 males and 66 females. The mean age was 36.
Purpose: Coats disease is a rare condition characterized by retinal vascular telangiectasia, aneurysms, and leakage from these abnormal blood vessels. We report the phenomenon and treatment of Coats disease with diffuse hyperpermeability from angiographically normal retinal capillaries.
Methods: This case series describes two patients with Coats disease, diagnosed based on fundus photography and fluorescein angiography.
AIM To evaluate the role of intravitreal Triamcinolone (TA) in the early management of Coats disease. METHODS Retrospective, interventional case series. RESULTS 15 consecutive cases with Coats disease were managed with 4 mg/0.
