Anterior uveitis and vasculitis in primary infection with VZV in a diabetic patient.

We present a case of ocular involvement in the context of a varicella zoster virus primary infection, in a 30-year-old man with type 1 diabetes. The ophthalmological examination revealed unilateral anterior uveitis resistant to topical treatment, which was complicated by association of vitritis and onset of retinal vasculitis diagnosed by angiography fluorescein. Herpetic eye involvement was confirmed by anterior chamber PCR for varicella- zoster virus.

Multimodal imaging in Susac syndrome with classic clinical triad presentation.

A 22-year-old male was referred for headaches, hearing impairment, and right eye scotoma. Branch retinal artery occlusion was revealed during the ophthalmological examination. Susac syndrome was suspected due to the symptoms described and the absence of cardiovascular risk factors.

Prognostic Tomographic Classification of Myopic Choroidal Neovascularization.

Background And Objectives: To investigate the prognostic value of the development of a hyperreflective envelopment of the neovascular tissue in myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV) after the first intravitreal ranibizumab injection and to establish a tomographic classification of mCNV depending on this healing process.

Patients And Methods: Twenty-five eyes of 25 patients with mCNV were retrospectively studied. Patients were classified into type A (presence of a hyperreflective coating of the neovascular tissue 1 month after first intravitreal ranibizumab) and type B (absence of or partial coating).

ATYPICAL HEALING IN A CASE WITH RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM APERTURES.

Purpose: To analyze the multimodal imaging features in a case showing resolution of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) apertures in association with an avascular pigment epithelium detachment secondary to nonneovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Methods: Report of a case diagnosed with aperture of the RPE with multimodal imaging long-term follow-up. Color fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence, eye-tracked spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography findings are discussed.

Safety of bilateral same-day intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents.

Purpose: The aim was to evaluate the safety of bilateral same-day injections with intravitreal antiangiogenic drugs for macular diseases.

Methods: Cross-sectional retrospective review of unilateral and bilateral same-day antiangiogenic injections was conducted between January 2011 and March 2016 in the Unit of Macula, University and Polytechnic Hospital La Fe (Valencia, Spain). A total of 8,172 injections were administered, among which 6,560 were unilateral and 1,612 were bilateral injections.

Automated macular choroidal thickness measurement by swept-source optical coherence tomography in pseudoxanthoma elasticum.

Introduction: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) typically involves elastic fibers in blood vessels and Bruch membrane. Our purpose was to analyze retinal and choroidal macular thickness in patients with angioid streaks due PXE compared with a control group.

Methods: Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), axial length (AL), and macular swept-source optical coherence tomography were obtained.

Choroidal thickness and visual prognosis in type 1 lesion due to neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Purpose: To evaluate the association between subfoveal choroidal thickness and the visual outcome in eyes with type 1 choroidal neovascularization (CNV) due to neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Methods: This was a retrospective, longitudinal, cross-sectional study including patients diagnosed with nAMD type 1 lesions managed with intravitreal injections of ranibizumab in a PRN strategy during 24 months. Retrospective chart review of patients with type 1 CNV recording the visual acuity, number of intravitreal injections, multimodal imaging data, and follow-up period was performed.

[ARCSTERILE: A COST-EFFECTIVE LUXURY].

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety, economic profitability, and cost-effectiveness of the controlled ambient surgical cabin ArcSterile.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective observational study comparing the profitability of surgical procedures using the ArcSterile* with those using the operating room throughout a 12-month period by analysing the following variables: total number of treated patients, delay in surgical assistance delay and the cost per procedure.

Results: Throughout a 12-month period, a total number of 2011 surgical procedures were performed with the ArcSterile, and 1736 surgical procedures were performed in the conventional operating room.

Macular retinal and choroidal thickness in unilateral relentless placoid chorioretinitis analyzed by swept-source optical coherence tomography.

Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the retinal and choroidal thickness of the macular region in patients with unilateral relentless placoid chorioretinitis (RPC) and macular involvement. Patients diagnosed with RPC affecting only one eye underwent a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), axial length (AL) measurement, slit-lamp examination, and color fundus and autofluorescence photography. The macular region was scanned by swept-source optical coherence tomography in the 1,050-nm wavelength.
