Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate retinal and choroidal thicknesses in children with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).
Methods: Thirty patients with FMF and 28 healthy controls were included in the study. The thicknesses of the retina and choroid of each subject's right eye were measured at the fovea and horizontal nasal and temporal quadrants at 500-µm intervals to 1500 µm from the foveal center using spectral-domain optic coherence tomography.
Results: Retinal and choroidal thicknesses at the fovea did not differ between groups (p = 0.32 and p = 0.39, respectively). Horizontal nasal and temporal retinal and choroidal thickness measurements at 500-µm intervals to a distance of 1500 µm from the foveal center were also similar between the groups (all p > 0.05).
Conclusions: The retinal and choroidal thicknesses of children with FMF do not differ from those of age- and sex-matched healthy controls.

Purpose: To compare the assessment of clinically relevant retinal and choroidal lesions as well as optic nerve pathologies using a novel three-wavelength ultra-widefield (UWF) scanning laser ophthalmoscope with established retinal imaging techniques for ophthalmoscopic imaging.
Methods: Eighty eyes with a variety of retinal and choroidal lesions were assessed on the same time point using Topcon color fundus photography (CFP) montage, Optos red/green (RG), Heidelberg SPECTRALIS MultiColor 55-color montage (MCI), and novel Optos red/green/blue (RGB). Paired images of the optic nerve, retinal, or choroidal lesions were initially diagnosed based on CFP imaging.

Wide field retinal imaging has emerged as a transformative technology over the last few decades, revolutionizing our ability to visualize the intricate landscape of the retina. By capturing expansive retinal areas, these techniques offer a panoramic view going beyond traditional imaging methods. In this review, we explore the significance of retinal imaging-based biomarkers to help diagnose ocular and systemic conditions.

This report describes a patient with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) with fovea-involving retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tear that showed tissue remodeling with a good visual outcome. Imaging over the patient's clinical course from 2019 was reviewed. A 74-year-old female presented with left submacular hemorrhage and a large multi-lobular pigment epithelial detachment.

Intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) has been applied and studied in a variety of vitreoretinal surgeries for its feasibility, safety, and outcomes for years. Common scenarios include membrane peeling procedures, retinal detachments, choroidal-retinal biopsies, Argus implants, and subretinal injections. iOCT offers the surgeon a better understanding of the retinal microarchitectural changes and timely intraoperative feedback, directing a future view of precision surgery.
