Idiopathic Macular Hole: Algorithm for Nonsurgical Closure Based on Literature Review.

Our purpose is to review the closure time and optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers that result in the non-surgical repair of idiopathic full-thickness macular holes (IFTMH). Our methodology consisted of a comprehensive literature review of the nonsurgical resolution of IFTMH followed by the calculation of the estimated closure time using the structural equation model. Forty-nine studies were found eligible yielding 181 eyes with IFTMH: 81.

Recovery course of persistent posterior subretinal fluid after successful repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Purpose: To investigate best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), subretinal fluid (SRF) absorption time or ellipsoid zone (EZ) restoration time and various variables in patients with persistent SRF after successful primary repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Methods: This retrospective multicenter study allowed independent analysis of the healing pattern by two observers based on composite of serial cross-sectional macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans. Univariate and multivariate analyses were implemented.

Recovery course of foveal microstructure in the nonsurgical resolution of full-thickness macular hole.

Purpose: To analyze the recovery course of foveal microstructures in eyes with nonsurgical healing of full-thickness macular hole (FTMH).

Methods: By serial OCT scans, the temporal healing sequences were analyzed in ocular trauma, vitreomacular traction (VMT), cystoid macular edema (CME), and the remaining group. We evaluated correlations between the final best-corrected spectacle visual acuity and reconstruction time of external limiting membrane (ELM), and inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS).

Analysis of optical coherence angiography in cystoid macular oedema associated with gyrate atrophy.

Background: To evaluate the relationship between superficial, deep foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and foveal cyst areas in eyes with cystoid macular oedema (CMO) associated with gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina (GA).

Methods: This is a retrospective collaborative multicenter study of optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCTA) images in GA. Superficial and deep FAZ and foveal cyst were measured using Image J by two independent experts.

Prepapillary vascular loop-a new classification.

Background/objectives: To analyze the ophthalmic characteristics of congenital prepapillary vascular loop (PVL) and to propose a new morphologic classification dividing the loops into six types.

Subjects/methods: Collaborative multinational multicentre retrospective study of PVL cases.

Results: There was a total of 49 cases (61 eyes), 37 unilateral (75.
