Purpose: Propose new terminology and evaluate the effectiveness of Therapeutic Refractive Vitrectomy (TRV) for selective removal of vitreous floaters and opacities (VFO) utilizing Standardized Kinetic Anatomical Functional Testing of VFO (SK VFO Test) and new ultra widefield (UWF) OCT imaging techniques.
Methods: Retrospective analysis. Twenty eyes underwent TRV for symptomatic VFO.

Background And Objective: We investigated the additive clinical benefits of a new ultra-widefield (UWF) red-green-blue (RGB) imaging technology.
Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective, observational, single-center study of 86 consecutive patients (172 eyes). UWF red-green (RG) and RGB images were taken using a new Optos California (Optos Plc).

Objective: Our aim was to assess central and peripheral retinal and choroidal diseases using novel simultaneous multiwavelength-ultra-widefield (MW-UWF) fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA)/indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) with navigated central and peripheral swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) technology.
Methods: Retrospective evaluation was carried out of 30 consecutive patients (60 eyes) who underwent UWF red/green (RG), infrared (IR), FFA and ICGA with simultaneous navigated SS-OCT using Optos Silverstone (Optos PLC). Angiographic retinal and choroidal findings in vascular pathologies and their relationship with the vitreoretinal interface (VRI) were assessed.

Objective: To introduce VFO and SK VFO Test: new, more representative terminology for symptoms of vitreous floaters/opacities (VFO) and new standardized kinetic (SK) anatomical-functional assessment.
Materials And Methods: Eight eyes underwent before-after limited vitrectomy (LV): best-corrected visual acuity, low-luminance visual acuity, Minnesota Low Vision Reading Chart near visual acuity in logMAR, contrast sensitivity function (CV1000E), and straylight measurements (SM) (HDA/LDA/C-Quant). SK infrared confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SK IRcSLO) and swept-source widefield optical coherence tomography (SS-WF-OCT) identified VFO and posterior vitreous detachment (PVD).
