Purpose: To report a case of intraretinal neovascularization in a patient with ischemic central venous occlusion.
Methods: Case report.
Results: An 18-year-old white man presented with painless decreased vision in the right eye. Slit-lamp and biomicroscopic examinations revealed 360° of neovascularization of the iris, venous tortuosity, severe retinal hemorrhages, cotton wool spots, and massive edema of the macula.
Conclusion: This is the first report of observed intraretinal neovascularization after central vein occlusion. Treatment with photocoagulation and intravitreal bevacizumab injection promoted revascularization after 1 year.

Purpose: To utilize optical coherence tomography (OCT) and SS-OCT angiography (SS-OCTA) for quantifying morphological changes seen in eyes with recalcitrant neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) transitioned to intravitreal faricimab injections during the manufacturer's recommended induction phase of treatment.
Methods: Fifty-four treatment-recalcitrant patients (60 eyes) were recruited. OCT and SS-OCTA images were obtained at 0 and 3 months.

The abnormal growth of irregular new blood vessels into the subretinal or intraretinal space is known as macular neovascularization (MNV). People over 50 are often affected by this disorder, which is typically brought on by age-related macular degeneration. In addition, MNV can be found in people under 50 years of age, who may present primary ophthalmic diseases such as pathological myopia, angioid streaks, traumatic choroidal rupture, or suspected ocular histoplasmosis syndrome.

Aim: To evaluate the impact of fluid volume fluctuations quantified with artificial intelligence in optical coherence tomography scans during the maintenance phase and visual outcomes at 12 and 24 months in a real-world, multicentre, national cohort of treatment-naïve neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) eyes.
Methods: Demographics, visual acuity (VA) and number of injections were collected using the Fight Retinal Blindness tool. Intraretinal fluid (IRF), subretinal fluid (SRF), pigment epithelial detachment (PED), total fluid (TF) and central subfield thickness (CST) were quantified using the RetinAI Discovery tool.
Purpose: Predicting long-term anatomical responses in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) patients is critical for patient-specific management. This study validates a generative deep learning (DL) model to predict 12-month posttreatment optical coherence tomography (OCT) images and evaluates the impact of incorporating clinical data on predictive performance.
Methods: A total of 533 eyes from 513 treatment-naïve nAMD patients were analyzed.

Background And Objective: To assess the efficacy of intravitreal aflibercept 8 mg in treating neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) in patients previously treated with faricimab.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on nAMD patients with suboptimal response to faricimab injections who were switched to intravitreal aflibercept 8 mg. Visual acuity (VA) and optical coherence tomography features were evaluated.
