Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a disorder characterized by serous detachment of the neurosensory retina, sometimes accompanied by retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) detachment.1,2 The serous detachment is caused by leakage…
Spectral Domain and Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), with the ability to visualize vasculature in vivo without the injection of dye, represents an exciting advancement in…
AMD can be classified into two forms: nonneovascular (dry) and neovascular (wet or exudative). Nonneovascular or dry AMD accounts for 85 to 90% of all cases of AMD. Dry AMD…
Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography and Fibrotic Choroidal Neovascularization in Age-Related Macular Degeneration Eric Souied and Alexandra Miere Summary Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) reveals, in the majority of cases, distinctive,…
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS If there is no internal flow block and intraocular pressure (IOP) remains too high despite maximally tolerated medical therapy, surgery to relieve outflow block is needed. Such procedures…
Glaucoma filtering surgery is fraught with various complications for the simple reason that it is designed to interrupt the integrity of the globe. In all other intraocular procedures, ophthalmologists try…
