Introduction: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of mydriasis on macular and peripapillary metrics with swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) in healthy subjects.
Methods: Thirty-five healthy subjects were included. The macular region was scanned by the 3×3mm mode and 6×6mm mode, and the peripapillary region was scanned by the 4.5×4.5mm mode on both eyes with SS-OCTA before and after mydriasis. Macular and peripapillary metrics, including retinal vessel density (VD) and fundus thickness were measured by the built-in program. Data of the right eye were analyzed.
Results: The signal strength of the scans was comparable before and after mydriasis (all >0.05). There were no significant differences in foveal avascular zone (FAZ) parameters and retinal VD of most sectors in both macular and peripapillary areas (all >0.05). Choroidal thickness was decreased, outer and whole retinal thickness was increased in most of the macular sectors after mydriasis (all <0.05). Choroidal thickness was decreased in all the peripapillary sectors, but whole retinal thickness and GCC thickness were increased in some peripapillary sectors after mydriasis (all <0.05).
Conclusions: FAZ parameters and retinal VD in the most macular and peripapillary regions are not affected by mydriasis. The thickness of the choroid is decreased after mydriasis, while the thickness of retinal layers in some sectors may be increased after mydriasis.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare retinal and optic disc functions as well as vascular structures in dominant eyes (DE) and non-dominant eyes (NDE) among healthy adults using pattern electroretinogram (PERG), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) tests.
Methods: Seventy-two eyes of 36 healthy subjects with bilateral visual acuity of 1.0 were included.

Peripapillary pachychoroid syndrome (PPS) is a recently described condition, classified within the pachychoroid disease spectrum characterized by focal or diffuse thickening of the choroid due to dilation of choroidal vessels in the Haller's layer (pachyvessels), thinning of the choriocapillaris and the Sattler's layer, and accompanied by increased choroidal permeability and damage to the retinal pigment epithelium. Unlike other pachychoroid diseases that involve changes in the central retina, PPS presents with choroidal thickening and intra- or subretinal fluid located nasally in the macular region, near the optic disc. This review aims to summarize and analyze current data on the clinical features, pathogenesis, and treatment options for PPS found in the literature.

Introduction: This study aims to summarize the retinal and choroidal microvascular features detected by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in the affected and fellow eyes of patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
Methods: A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, and Ovid databases was conducted to identify studies comparing OCTA metrics among RVO, RVO-fellow, and control eyes. Outcomes of interest included parameters related to foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and fovea- and optic nerve head (ONH)-centered perfusion measurements of superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), and choriocapillaris layer.

Purpose: To compare the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness, central subfield thickness (CSFT), and parafoveal and perifoveal thickness in children of different age groups with young adult controls by using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included children aged 6-17 years and adult controls (18-22 years) - group 1: 6-9 years (57 eyes), group 2: 10-13 years (116 eyes), group 3: 14-17 years (66 eyes), and group 4 (controls): 18-22 years (61 eyes). A mixed-effects model was used to compare the OCT parameters among the groups, along with multivariable analysis.

Emerging evidence suggests that retinal structural alterations are present in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD), potentially reflecting broader neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative processes. This cross-sectional study investigates retinal thickness and its clinical correlations in a sample of early-course SSD patients compared to healthy controls (HCs). One hundred-two eyes from 26 SSD cases and 25 age- and sex-matched HCs were included.
