Purpose: To evaluate the progression of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) due to mutations in rhodopsin (RHO) by measuring the short-wavelength autofluorescence (SW-AF) increased autofluorescence ring and ellipsoid zone (EZ)-line width.
Methods: Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images were obtained from 10 patients with autosomal dominant RP due to mutations in the RHO gene. Measurements of ring area on FAF images, as well as the EZ line width on SD-OCT images and horizontal, vertical diameter, were performed by two independent masked graders.
Results: The ring area decreased by a rate of 0.6 ± 0.2 mm per year. We observed that the EZ line width decreased by an average of 152 ± 37 μm per year, while the horizontal and vertical diameters decreased by 106 ± 35 μm and 125 ± 29 μm per year, respectively. Progression rates were similar between eyes.
Conclusions: We observed SW-AF ring constriction and a progressive loss of EZ line width over time.

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.

The aim of this study is to describe genotype and phenotype of patients with bestrophinopathy. The case records were reviewed retrospectively, findings of multimodal imaging such as color fundus photograph, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus autofluorescence, electrophysiological, and genetic tests were noted. Twelve eyes of six patients from distinct Indian families with molecular diagnosis were enrolled.

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.
