FUNCTIONAL AND ANATOMICAL OUTCOMES AFTER SHORT-TERM HEAVY SILICONE OIL ENDOTAMPONADE FOR INFERIOR RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL REDETACHMENT: A Pilot Study.

Purpose: To assess the success of the short-term location of the heavy silicone oil (Densiron 68, HSO) as endotamponade after pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous complex retinal redetachment.

Methods: Consecutive, retrospective, nonrandomized, pilot study was conducted. Twenty-two eyes of 22 patients with complex inferior retinal redetachment previously tamponade with gas (SF6 or C3F8) or 1000 cSt standard silicone oil (SSO) were selected.

Choroidal remodeling following different anti-VEGF therapies in neovascular AMD.

The purpose of this study was to investigate choroidal morphology remodeling in AMD-associated type 1 macular neovascularization using two different anti-VEGF drugs. We registered 73 treatment-naïve eyes with a diagnosis of exudative AMD and type 1 MNV. Patients received 3 monthly intravitreal aflibercept (n = 36, aflibercept group [AG]) or brolucizumab (n = 37, brolucizumab group [BG]).

SEVERE VISUAL LOSS DURING ANTI-VEGF INTRAVITREAL INJECTIONS IN NEOVASCULAR AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION: TIMING, PROGNOSIS, AND OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY FINDINGS.

Purpose: Intravitreal injection (IVI) of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the standard of care for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). However, a small subgroup of patients still experience severe visual impairment, which may be related to the number of IVI administered.

Methods: This retrospective observational study analyzed data from patients with sudden severe visual decline (≥15 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study [ETDRS] letters loss between two consecutive IVIs) during anti-VEGF treatment for nAMD.
