BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to report wide-field angiography findings before and after steroid therapy in a case with bilateral Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease. RESULTS A 44-year-old woman presented with bilateral blurred vision and metamorphopsia accompanied by symptoms of headache and tinnitus. The baseline best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Ophthalmic exami...

PURPOSE To evaluate spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings based on preferential hyperacuity perimeter (PHP) in patients after idiopathic epiretinal membrane surgery. METHODS Forty eyes of 40 patients undergoing surgery for idiopathic epiretinal membrane were included in the study. The best-corrected visual acuity, PHP, Amsler grid test, and OCT were assessed 3 months aft...

PURPOSE To evaluate the vision-related quality of life (VR-QOL) and visual function following vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). DESIGN Prospective, interventional, consecutive, comparative case series. METHODS The 25-Item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-25) was answered by 51 patients with PDR before and three months after 20-gauge pars plana...

AIMS To study the natural history and evaluate optical coherence tomography (OCT) and the retinal thickness analyser (RTA) in patients with macular microholes. METHODS The medical records of 22 patients with a well demarcated red intraretinal foveal or juxtafoveal defect were reviewed. Fluorescein angiography (FA), RTA, and OCT were performed. The main outcome measures were visual acuity (VA)...

BACKGROUND Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC) has been previously reported as an infrequent complication of pregnancy that usually resolves spontaneously after delivery, with minimal or no sequel. We report a case of a severe form of CSC in an uncomplicated pregnancy with extensive subfoveal exudates and severe permanent visual loss. Multimodal imaging techniques, including color and red-fr...

BACKGROUND Previous studies described cases of Ocriplasmin injections in patients with vitreo-macular traction and reduced central visual acuity. We describe the first case of a patient with 20/20 visual acuity and vitreo-macular traction treated with Ocriplasmin, and, for the first time in literature, we evaluated the functional changes of the macula in response to pharmacological treatment th...

PURPOSE To report the clinical findings of 2 patients with focal choroidal excavation in the macula detected by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). METHODS Three eyes of 2 patients with a focal macular choroidal excavation detected by SD-OCT were studied. The eyes were examined by fundus autofluorescence (FAF), fluorescein angiography, fundus-related microperimetry, and mul...

We report a case of 43 years old women who present myopic CNV (A) causing an acute vision loss. That has not been treated at time causing a chorioretinal atrophy as the angiography (B) and her Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) (C) shows. High myopia is a major cause of legal blindness in many countries, especially in young people. Itis defined as a refraction of at least -6.00 diopters and/or ...

PURPOSE To report 2 cases of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease accompanied by remarkable choroidal folds in the acute stage. The early indicator of recurrence in these 2 cases was the identification of choroidal folds by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). CASE REPORTS A 68-year-old woman (Case 1) presented with visual loss in both eyes. Funduscopic examination revealed optic di...
