Optical Density Ratio in the Subretinal Fluid: Differentiating Chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy and Polypodial Choroidal Vasculopathy
Purpose To investigate the differences in the optical density ratios between chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) obtained from subretinal fluid (SRF) analyses to identify the…
Management of Thick Submacular Hemorrhage With Subretinal Tissue Plasminogen Activator and Pneumatic Displacement for Age-Related Macular Degeneration
We read with great interest the recent article by Chang and associates. The authors concluded that vitrectomy with subretinal tissue plasminogen (t-PA) injection and gas tamponade was found to be…
Short-Term Enhancement of Visual Field Sensitivity in Glaucomatous Eyes Following Surgical Intraocular Pressure Reduction
Purpose To examine the hypothesis that surgical intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction leads to enhancement of visual field (VF) sensitivity in glaucomatous eyes. Design Prospective case-control study. Methods Patients with uncontrolled…
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate as Baseline Predictor for the Development of Uveitis in Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Purpose To analyze inflammatory parameters as possible predictors for the development of uveitis in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients. Further, to analyze the predictive value of demographic and clinical factors…
Circadian Macular Volume Changes in the Healthy Human Choroid
Purpose To investigate a potential circadian fluctuation of the choroidal volume in healthy adults by enhanced depth imaging (EDI) via spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT). Design Prospective observational case…
Iris Suture Fixation of Subluxated Intraocular Lenses
Purpose To assess the results of iris suture fixation of subluxated intraocular lenses. Design Retrospective study. Methods This was a nonrandomized chart review of eyes with subluxated intraocular lenses that…
Overweight and Obesity in Pediatric Secondary Pseudotumor Cerebri Syndrome
Purpose To examine the clinical, demographic, and anthropometric patient characteristics of secondary pseudotumor cerebri syndrome in children and adolescents based on the recently revised diagnostic criteria. Design Retrospective observational case…
Distribution and Determinants of Choroidal Thickness and Volume Using Automated Segmentation Software in a Population-Based Study
Purpose To objectively quantify choroidal thickness and choroidal volume using fully automated choroidal segmentation software applied to images obtained from enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (EDI SD OCT)…
Endoscopic Medial Orbital Fat Decompression for Proptosis in Type 1 Graves Orbitopathy
Purpose To describe the surgical technique for endoscopic medial orbital fat decompression in type 1 (lipogenic) Graves orbitopathy and report outcomes. Design Retrospective interventional case review. Methods We reviewed 108…
