Characteristics of choroidal neovascularization in elderly eyes with high myopia not meeting the pathologic myopia definition - Scientific Reports

The META-Analysis of Pathologic Myopia Study group proposed a new classification system for myopic maculopathy (MM) with pathologic myopia (PM) defined as MM equal to/more serious than diffuse atrophy or...
Relevance: The META-Analysis of Pathologic Myopia Study group proposed a new classification system for myopic maculopathy (MM) with pathologic myopia (PM) defined as MM equal to/more serious than diffuse atrophy or the presence of plus lesions and myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV) defined as CNV in the eye with PM. However, CNV in...
Course of non-neovascular fluid in age-related macular degeneration: observe and extend regimen in a case-series study
Source : https://www.canadianjournalofophthalmology.ca/article/S0008-4182(22)00251-4/fulltext
To describe the course of non-neovascular fluid in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) after anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy or after observation without injections.
Conclusion: This study provides preliminary data regarding the progression of non-neovascular fluid in AMD with or without anti-VEGF injections. A possible mechanism for fluid development may be related to RPE pump impairment. Distinguishing neovascular versus non-neovascular fluid using multimodal imaging, including OCT angiography, is...
Prevalence of Serous Macular Detachment in Recurrent Macular Edema Secondary to Retinal Vein Occlusion
Introduction Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the second most common retinal vascular disorder, and cystoid macular edema (CME) is the main cause of vision loss in these patients. 1 Intravitreal...
Conclusion:This study suggests that SMD seems to be more frequent in patients with recurrent CME secondary to CRVO when compared to BRVO. The choice of initial intravitreal treatment with either ranibizumab or dexamethasone implant did not affect the prevalence of SMD in recurrent CME. However, longer-term prospective studies including a larger...

2022 Aug 18;15(8):1296-1304. doi: 10.18240/ijo.2022.08.11. 1 Department of Ophthalmology, Changhai Hospital, Shanghai 200433, China. 2 Department of Ophthalmology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou 215004, Jiangsu Province, China....
Conclusion: Anti-VEGF therapy is effective in treating RVO-ME. The mechanisms for the decreased HRF and the reduction of NPA by anti-VEGF therapy merits further exploration.

Conclusions: The estimated prevalence of ERM was 7.0%, which was higher than that of previous reports using fundus photography only in an East Asian population. Possible risk factors for ERM were older age, history of cataract surgery, hypertension, and diabetic retinopathy. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
