New Imaging Technology for Simultaneous Multiwavelength-UWF Fundus Fluorescein Angiography and Indocyanine Green Angiography With Navigated Central and Peripheral SS-OCT.
Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina
July 2023
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.
Article Synopsis
- The study involved implanting a flexible iris prosthesis in patients with serious iris defects affecting their vision, using a minimally invasive technique through a small incision in the cornea.
- The procedure was integrated with other surgeries, such as cataract removal, and proved effective in enhancing the patients' visual outcomes.
- Initial results indicate that careful patient selection and effective post-surgery care can lead to successful implantation of these iris prostheses, providing significant improvements in vision for various types of iris defects.
We describe a case of necrotizing keratitis that developed after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in a 50-year-old woman with inflammatory bowel disease. The patient had not disclosed her history of a total colectomy for recurrent ulcerative colitis and developed bilateral stromal inflammation and corneal melting along the flap edge with ulceration within 3 days of uneventful bilateral LASIK for myopia. She was aggressively managed with topical and systemic corticosteroid therapy.

Methods: Patient outcome data were collected at the time of transplantation and at 1, 2, and 5 years after surgery. Data were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival curves, Cox regression, and binary logistic regression to determine the influence of surgical procedure on graft survival and visual outcome.
