Background: To investigate the subfoveal retinal and choroidal thickness in patients with unilateral Fuchs Uveitis Syndrome (FUS).
Methods: This comparative contralateral study was performed in affected eyes with FUS versus fellow eyes. For each eye parameters such as subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT), subfoveal choriocapillary thickness (SCCT), central macular thickness (CMT), and central macular volume (CMV) were measured; then the measured values of affected and fellow unaffected eye were compared.
Results: Thirty-seven patients (74 eyes) including 19 females (51.4%) with a mean age of 36.9 ± 7.6 years were enrolled. The mean SCT was lower in the affected eyes (344.51 ± 91.67) than in the fellow (375.59 ± 87.33) with adjusting for duration of disease and axial lengths (P < 0.001). The mean SCCT, CMT, and CMV were higher in eyes with FUS than in fellow eyes (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: The result of our study demonstrated that affected eyes in patients with FUS tend to have thinner SCT and thicker SCCT and CMT compared to uninvolved fellow eyes.

Ciliary muscle traction during accommodation is able to induce optic nerve head deformation.
Eye (Lond)
January 2025
Key Laboratory for Biomechanics and Mechanobiology of Ministry of Education, Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Biomedical Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing, China.
Objectives: To use finite element (FE) modeling and in vivo optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging to explore the effect of ciliary muscle traction on optic nerve head (ONH) deformation during accommodation.
Methods: We developed a FE model to mimic the ciliary muscle traction during accommodation, and varied the stiffness of the sclera, choroid, Bruch's membrane (BM), prelaminar neural tissue and lamina cribrosa (LC) to assess their effects on accommodation-induced ONH strains. To validate the FE model, OCT images of the right eyes' ONHs from 20 subjects (25 ± 1.
Assessment of choroidal vessels in healthy eyes using 3-dimensional vascular maps and a semi-automated deep learning approach.

To assess the choroidal vessels in healthy eyes using a novel three-dimensional (3D) deep learning approach. In this cross-sectional retrospective study, swept-source OCT 6 × 6 mm scans on Plex Elite 9000 device were obtained. Automated segmentation of the choroidal layer was achieved using a deep-learning ResUNet model along with a volumetric smoothing approach.

Purpose: To explore the longitudinal changes in retinal and choroidal thickness and their relation with the onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in children.
Methods: Thirty-eight children with T1DM and 71 healthy controls were included in this 3-year longitudinal study. Ophthalmic and systemic examinations were conducted on each participant.
Quantitative analysis of choroidal vascular structures and anatomical changes in pachychoroid spectrum diseases using ultra-widefield SS-OCTA.
Sci Rep
January 2025
The Department of Ophthalmology, General Hospital of Central Theater Command, No. 627 Wuluo Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan, 430000, Hubei, China.
This study used ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF SS-OCTA) to analyze and compare choroidal blood flow and anatomical changes in eyes affected by central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV), and uncomplicated pachychoroid (UCP). The findings revealed distribution patterns of vortex veins across the three patient groups and provided initial findings insights into the origin of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in PNV. A total of 44 patients with CSC, 38 with PNV, and 46 with UCP were included in the analysis.

Purpose: To describe a new feature in pathologic myopia: perivascular patchy chorioretinal atrophy (PVCA) DESIGN: Cross-sectional study METHODS: 604 eyes of 312 highly myopic patients followed at Strasbourg University Hospitals were reviewed for the presence of PVCA lesions. Demographic, clinical, and paraclinical data (ultra-widefield retinography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography images) were analyzed. Controls were matched for age, sex, and axial length (AL).
