Purpose
Macular atrophy is a late-stage complication often associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, it can also occur in pachychoroid diseases, including central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), called pachychoroid macular atrophy (pMA). This study aimed to investigate the characteristics and progression of pMA in CSCR.
De...
Purpose
To assess the effects of oscillatory photodynamic therapy (OPDT) with verteporfin in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSCR).
Methods
Retrospective study including eyes with cCSCR who underwent OPDT by a single retina specialist. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), subfoveal choroida...
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 smoo...
The age-related macular degeneration (AMD) field is witnessing promising advancements in therapeutic options. Breakthrough drugs such as pegcetacoplan and avacincaptad have been FDA-approved for dry AMD, marking a significant development as there were no treatment options until August 2023. While several antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF...
Background: An idiopathic full-thickness parafoveal hole (PFH) in the absence of trauma or intraocular surgery is a rare finding. Case: A 60-year-female who did not gain good vision following an uneventful phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in the right eye (RE) consulted a retina specialist, one year after her cataract su...
Purpose:
To determine changes in choroidal volume (CV) and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) in patients on hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) therapy.
Methods:
Retrospective analysis of patients on HCQ therapy. CV and CVI were assessed below the central foveal region on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography using an automatic denoising and localiz...
Purpose:
To evaluate the impact of drusen-like deposits (DLD) on retinal layer integrity and retinal function by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Methods:
We identified 66 eyes of 33 SLE patients treated with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) that were categ...
Systemic immunosuppressants and biologicals have been a valuable tool in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and malignancies. The safety profile of these drugs has been debatable, especially in localized systems, such as the eye. This has led to the search for fairly local approaches, such as intravitreal, subconjunctival, and topical route of...
Purpose:
Real-life comparison of three intravitreal drug regimens used in cases of endophthalmitis at a tertiary care center in India.
Methods:
In this prospective, comparative study, patients of bacterial endophthalmitis were grouped according to intravitreal antibiotic drug regimens into Group 1 (ceftazidime and vancomycin), Group 2 (piperacil...
A 56-year-old woman presented with floaters and diminution of vision in the right eye for 1 week. On examination, visual acuity was 20/400 in the right eye and 20/60 in the left eye. Indirect ophthalmoscopy revealed vitritis in the right eye and subretinal deposits in both eyes. Vitreous biopsy of the right eye revealed large B-cell-type primary in...
To determine the demographic profile, clinical features and surgical outcomes of giant retinal tear (GRT) related retinal detachments (RD) in children.
In this retrospective study, medical records of children aged 14 years and below, who underwent surgery for RD at our centre in the last 5 years were reviewed. Among these, we selected medical recor...
Purpose:
To compare the outcomes of vitreoretinal surgery in patients with primary and recurrent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) on 3 dimensional digitally assisted visualization system (3D-DAVS) and conventional analogue microscope (CAM).
Methods:
68 patients with primary (50) and recurrent (18...
Introduction:
The retinal changes following scleral buckling surgery (SBS) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) have been rarely evaluated with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Methods:
A 40 years old male presented with subtotal RD involving the macula and had best corrected visual acuity of logmar 2.3 in the affected rig...
Objectives: To study the clinical features, optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings, treatment options and follow-up outcomes of post-fever retinitis (PFR).
Subjects: A total of 19 eyes of 13 patients, diagnosed with PFR (retinitis following febrile episode) over 2 years were retrospectively studied.
Methods: Documented history, baseline clinic...
Post fever retinitis (PFR), characterized by multiple cotton wool spot like lesions in the posterior pole, is commonly reported following viral and bacterial infections. Retinal perfusion defects have been documented with the help of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in cases of PFR. But long term changes in such cases have not been r...
Submacular hemorrhage (SMH) following ruptured retinal artery macro aneurysm (RRAM) has better prognosis as compared to other etiologies. Timely intervention from as early as 24 h to less than 7 days is known to provide better visual outcomes in such cases. A variety of surgical techniques have been described in the treatment of RRAM. In this case...
Type 1 extrafoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration was diagnosed in a 68-year-old woman using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) alone. The entire network of vessels was clearly visible on a 12 × 12 mm OCT-A scan segmented below the retinal pigment epithelium. The patient wa...

Retinal dialysis is mostly associated with blunt trauma or
at times spontaneous. A patient presented to us with fresh
rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with no telltale history
or signs of trauma. The causative break was retinal dialysis
noted on the superonasal periphery. A characteristic peripheral
chorioretinal degeneration simulating a coastlin...

Her best-corrected visual acuity in the right eye was 20/200 and that in left eye was 20/20. Dilated fundus examination revealed (A) a large vascular tumor arising from the optic disc extending to the fovea with underlying disc edema...
Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy as a disease is yet to be comprehended completely. The clinical features consisting of huge serosanguineous retinal pigment epithelial and neurosensory layer detachments, although unique may closely mimick neovascular age-related macular degeneration and other counterparts. The investigative modalities starting fro...
