A retrospective study showed that the gender of the ophthalmologist influenced the amount of communication with the patient, and that the pandemic had an impact.

Investigators advised clinicians of the potential for dystrophies that mimic age-related macular degeneration and other atrophic macular pathologies to be incorrectly diagnosed, which can impact treatment.

The investigators retrospectively evaluated 126 consecutive treatment-naïve nAMD patients (126 eyes) who received a loading dose of a minimum of three monthly intravitreal aflibercept injections that was followed by a TAE.

Systemic evaluation key to the cause of the detachments

Yu reviewed the benefits and limitations of various electrophysiologic technologies in a diverse group of inflammatory conditions affecting the retina and optic nerve.

Additionally, the prognosis of macular edema may help clinicians evaluate renal function, investigators reported

A total of 43 patients who recovered from the SARS-CoV-2 infection with mild pneumonia were included along with 45 healthy individuals.

Visual acuity with both approaches was comparable and the device was efficacious and safe.

Risk factors vary in both short-term and long-term periods following Boston Type 1 keratoprosthesis surgery.

Researchers screened for outcomes such as the presence of retinal diseases including age-related macular degeneration and retinal vein occlusion

The pandemic caused an overall decrease in the rates of the 10 most common ophthalmic procedures performed in 2020 when compared to the year prior.

The implant was tested in eyes of patients with bilateral age-related macular degeneration who underwent cataract surgery

Researchers reported identifying changes in 4 areas of the brain

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was performed in all participants; the choroidal and retinal changes were examined and recorded.

The main outcomes were the measurements of the visual acuity and visual field defects.

Previous research has shown that voretigene neparvovec administered subretinally early in childhood for RPE65-mediated inherited retinal dystrophy achieved encouraging efficacious results.

Among these eyes, 18.9% of eyes developed nAMD within 36 months.

Investigators conducted a retrospective review that spanned 10 years with the goals of describing the clinical characteristics of choroidal metastasis in this patient population and report treatment outcomes after targeted therapy compared with conventional radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy.

The “Triangle sign” seen on ultrasound is a “distinctive and reliable” ultrasound feature for differentiating total choroidal detachments and suprachoroidal hemorrhages.
