The central retinal area was studied in children with different types of amblyopia, by using optical coherent tomography. The results of the latter performed in 113 (208 eyes) children with different types of amblyopia were analyzed. Amblyopia was found to be characterized by structural changes in the central retinal area, which were more pronounced in its dysbinocular form. In obscurant amblyopia, these changes depended on the remoteness of deprivation. The preliminary results given suggest that the similar studies are promising in choosing an algorithm of treatment for such a severe abnormality as amblyopia.

Background: Lumen reduction after bioresorbable scaffold implantation has been reported. This study aimed to assess the influence of pre-dilatation with a scoring balloon versus a standard non-compliant balloon prior to implanting a magnesium-based Magmaris bioresorbable scaffold (MgBRS) on lumen measurements using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and on clinical outcomes after 12 months.
Method: In the OPTIMIS-study (Optimal lesion preparation before implantation of a MgBRS in patients with coronary artery stenosis), patients were randomly assigned to pre-dilatation with a scoring balloon or a standard non-compliant balloon before MgBRS implantation.

Background: Severe calcification is the morphology most strongly associated with stent underexpansion.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to revise an optical coherence tomography (OCT)-derived calcium score to predict stent underexpansion in severely calcified lesions (angle >270°) using a point-based system.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted in which 250 de novo lesions undergoing OCT-guided stenting, with angiographically visible calcium and optical coherence tomographic maximum superficial calcium angle >270°, not subjected to atherectomy or specialty balloon treatment before stent implantation, were randomly divided into derivation (n = 167) and validation (n = 83) cohorts.

Purpose: To report our flicker electroretinographic (ERG) findings in a patient who developed uveitis after treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for a metastatic malignant melanoma.
Methods: ERGs were used to monitor retinal physiology in a patient with ocular complications following systemic ICI administration. Flicker ERGs were recorded using the RETeval system before and after the ICI treatments.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of extraocular muscle recession performed as part of strabismus surgery on posterior retinal and choroidal blood flow.
Methods: A single-center prospective study was conducted on patients who underwent strabismus surgery. Optical coherence tomography, optical coherence tomography angiography, and laser speckle flowgraphy of the macula were performed before surgery and at one week, one month, and four months after surgery.
