Objective: To characterize geographic atrophy (GA) and evaluate differences between Asians and non-Asians.

Participants: Subjects aged ≥ 50 years with GA secondary to age-related macular degeneration in the absence of neovascularization in the study eye and follow-up of ≥ 2 years.

Characteristics of choroidal neovascularization in elderly eyes with high myopia not meeting the pathologic myopia definition.

The META-Analysis of Pathologic Myopia Study group proposed a new classification system for myopic maculopathy (MM) with pathologic myopia (PM) defined as MM equal to/more serious than diffuse atrophy or the presence of plus lesions and myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV) defined as CNV in the eye with PM. However, CNV in elderly eyes with high myopia (HM) not meeting the PM definition (high-myopia CNV) are not classified as age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) or mCNV. This retrospective study included 39 eyes with high-myopia CNV, 20 eyes with mCNV, and 20 eyes with AMD.

Refractive Outcomes of Combined Cataract Surgery and Vitrectomy Compared to Cataract Surgery Alone.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the refractive outcomes of combined cataract surgery and vitrectomy compared to cataract surgery alone.

Methods: This retrospective chart review study included two groups: (1) combined surgery in 103 eyes (101 patients) who underwent cataract surgery with posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) placement by a single cataract surgeon and vitrectomy by a single vitreoretinal surgeon at the same surgical setting; (2) cataract surgery alone by the same surgeon in 107 eyes (84 patients). Refractive outcomes and complications between the combined and cataract surgery alone group were compared.

Three-Dimensional Volume Calculation of Intrachoroidal Cavitation Using Deep-Learning-Based Noise Reduction of Optical Coherence Tomography.

Purpose: Intrachoroidal cavitations (ICCs) are peripapillary pathological lesions generally associated with high myopia that can cause visual field (VF) defects.

Methods: Thirteen eyes of 12 consecutive patients with peripapillary ICCs were enrolled.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of a case report.

Results: 89 year-old male presented with a central retinal vein occlusion, hyphema, vitreous hemorrhage and neovascular glaucoma.

Vitrectomy With Internal Limiting Membrane Transplants in the Closure of 2 Adjacent Macular Holes.

Purpose: Two adjacent macular holes (MHs), which were noted in the highly myopic left eye of an 85-year-old woman, is an uncommon clinical presentation. This case report presents the successful closure of the 2 adjacent MHs using internal limiting membrane (ILM) transplants during vitrectomy that included.

Methods: ILM transplants were placed within both MHs during vitrectomy that included ILM peeling and fluid gas exchange with 18% perfluoropropane (CF) and postoperative facedown positioning for 1 week.

Long term observation of hydrogel buckle intrusion without vision loss.

Hydrogel buckle intrusion due to progressive swelling is a known complication, which usually requires surgical intervention due to vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, or progressive encroachment into the optic nerve or macula. Hydrogel buckle surgery with successful retinal detachment repair was performed in this one-eyed physician in 1990, and there was slow progressive intrusion towards the macula and optic nerve without surgical intervention for 30 years and with visual acuity maintained at 20/40.

Successful Treatment of Full-Thickness Macular Hole in Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy with Anti-VEGF Therapy.

Purpose: To report a case of an 86-year-old man with a full thickness macular hole (FTMH) secondary to polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) treated with bevacizumab.

Methods: A retrospective case report is presented.

Results: An 86-year-old male presented with a five-month history of metamorphopsia and decreased vision in his right eye and was found to have active exudation secondary to PCV with a concurrent FTMH.

Differentiating Exudative Macular Degeneration and Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy Using OCT B-Scan.

Purpose: Although polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is best diagnosed with indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), ICGA is often unavailable or not ordered. OCT is widely available, and OCT B-scan can visualize polypoidal lesions diagnostic of PCV as inverted U-shaped elevations of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) with heterogeneous reflectivity and sometimes ring-shaped lesions within the polypoidal lesion. This study aims to differentiate findings between eyes diagnosed with PCV or typical exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using ICGA and then compares findings noted on the OCT B-scan line scan in each group.

Long-Term Stability of Sutured Scleral Fixation of a Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens With 10-0 Polypropylene for More Than 30 Years.

Purpose: We report the longest follow-up to our knowledge of stable scleral fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) with 10-0 polypropylene sutures.

Methods: A retrospective review is presented of a case with more than 30 years' follow-up after performing sutured scleral fixation with 10-0 polypropylene suture using 2 sutures tied together under a scleral flap. One suture was a cow-hitch looped around the haptic, and the other suture was passed through the sclera to create the scleral fixation.
