Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the results of vitrectomy performed in patients' worse eyes with diabetic macular edema to the results of continuous anti-VEGF treatment performed in patients' fellow eyes.

Methods: A retrospective interventional study of 14 patients with diabetic macular edema in both eyes. The better eye was always qualified for aflibercept injections (group 1), and the worse eye was scheduled for vitrectomy (group 2).

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined choroidal thickness and the structure of the outer choroidoscleral boundary in patients with full-thickness macular holes both before and after surgery.
  • Choroidal thickness remained consistent across patients with macular holes, their fellow eyes, and healthy controls, while irregularities in the choroidoscleral boundary were more common in patients with macular holes.
  • The research suggests that changes in the outer choroidoscleral boundary may contribute to the development of full-thickness macular holes, highlighting a potential link between the choroid and the condition.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the effects of switching to one dose of aflibercept in patients who did not respond to bevacizumab after multiple monthly treatments.
  • Visual acuity improved significantly after the switch, with 47% of patients seeing at least a 5-letter gain on a vision chart, and central retinal thickness also decreased.
  • The findings suggest that administering aflibercept can enhance both visual and anatomic outcomes in patients previously unresponsive to bevacizumab.

Purpose: Our purpose was to study the clinical manifestation and course of optic pit maculopathy using Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD- OCT) images.

Materials And Methods: We used SD-OCT to examine 20 eyes of 19 patients with a macular detachment in combination with an optic.

Results: We observed five different fovea appearances in regard to fluid localization.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to identify early signs of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in the fellow eyes of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
  • Over a 48-month period, researchers conducted monthly SD-OCT scans on 68 patients and found notable morphological changes in the retina that appeared at least one month before the onset of CNV.
  • The findings suggest that regular SD-OCT monitoring can help in swiftly detecting CNV formation, potentially leading to more timely treatment interventions.

Purpose: To report choroidal thickness and volume in healthy eyes using swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Methods: A prospective observational study of 122 patients examined with swept source OCT (DRI-OCT, Topcon, Japan). In each eye, we performed 256 horizontal scans, 12 mm in length and centered on the fovea.

Background: The aim of this study is to present functional and anatomical results of pars plana vitrectomy without gas tamponade in lamellar macular holes. Additionally, the study determines factors influencing final outcome.

Methods: Twenty-six eyes of 26 patients with lamellar macular hole were diagnosed using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Background: To report on changes in retinal morphology during the 12 months after macular hole surgery.

Methods: Seventy one eyes of 66 patients after pars plana vitrectomy with ILM peeling and air tamponade were evaluated with spectral OCT for 12 months and additionally before surgery. Macular hole size was measured.
