Purpose: To evaluate the peripapillary changes after vitrectomy and silicone oil (SO) tamponade in eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
Methods: In this study, 25-gauge vitrectomy with SO tamponade was performed in 22 eyes with RRD. The radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) vessel density (VD) and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) were assessed by optical coherence tomography angiography at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks postoperatively. The values of healthy fellow eyes were used as controls.
Results: The global RPC VDs were significantly lower in the eyes with RRD than in fellow healthy eyes at 2 weeks (P < 0.001), and increased at 4 weeks, then decreased over time after surgery (F = 1.046, P = 0.377). The RPC VDs in the superior-hemifield were lower than those in the inferior-hemifield at 12 weeks postoperatively (t = -2.844, P = 0.010). The global RNFLTs decreased gradually after vitrectomy in the eyes with RRD (F = 1.312, P = 0.276). The RNFLTs in the superior-hemifield were thinner than those in the inferior-hemifield at 12 weeks postoperatively (t = -2.222, P = 0.037). The global, superior, and inferior RNFLTs were correlated with corresponding RPC VDs in the eyes with RRD at all time-points postoperatively (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: RRD resulted in the decrease of RPC VDs. The RPC VDs recovered in the early postoperative period but were still lower than the normal level. Long-term application of SO tamponade resulted in the reduction of peripapillary VDs secondary to loss of RNFLTs.

Purpose: To evaluate the retinal, choroidal, and optic disc head microvascular circulation in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals without retinopathy receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 100 eyes of 100 patients with HIV infection but no HIV-related ocular disease and 108 eyes of 108 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects as the control group. SS-OCTA was used to assess foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL), choriocapillaris (CC) flow area, outer retinal (OR) thickness, radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) vessel density (VD), ONH VD, and choroidal thickness.

Background: Thalassemia major (TM) is an inherited anaemia caused by faulty haemoglobin synthesis. Reducing serum iron levels using iron chelating agents is an important step in the treatment of TM, and the effects on the eye of both the disease and these agents can be determined by regular eye examination.
Objectives: We evaluated macular and optic nerve vascular densities in children with TM and compared the results with healthy controls using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Purpose: To evaluate capillaries perfusion and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness diurnal changes of macular/optic disc regions among participants with or without obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea (OSA) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Methods: In this study, we enrolled a cohort of 35 participants including 14 patients with mild-to-moderate OSA, 12 patients with severe OSA, and 9 healthy individuals. All participants had Berlin questionnaire filled.
