Observations: Case report. Both the 64-year-old and 71-year-old females presented for a routine evaluation, and multimodal imaging analysis, including color fundus photography, indocyanine green angiography (ICG), spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and OCTA, was performed to diagnose a MCM.

Purpose: To describe retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) disease detected by fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging in eyes with idiopathic choroidal neovascularization (ICNV).
Methods: A retrospective review of patients seen during a 14-month period with the diagnosis of ICNV was performed to identify patients with RPE disease, defined as hypo or hyperautofluorescent lesions on FAF. The presence of ICNV was confirmed by clinical history, ophthalmoscopic examination, fluorescein angiography (FA), and spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
To describe the ocurrence of -associated neuroretinitis secondary to non-feline pet exposure, we retrospectively reviewed medical records and imaging from patients with a clinical and serologic diagnosis of (BH). Retinal imaging included color fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography (FA). Four eyes of two patients with cat-scratch disease were included in this study, with a mean age of 35 years.

Background: To objectively evaluate YAG laser vitreolysis for symptomatic vitreous floaters using color photo imaging.
Methods: In this interventional and prospective study, 32 eyes of 32 patients with symptomatic vitreous floaters secondary to posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) were treated with a single session of yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser. Primary outcomes were objective and subjective changes measured by masked grading of color fundus photographs and National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire 25 (NEI VFQ-25), respectively.

Background: Swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) has a higher scanning rate and longer wavelength in comparison with spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT), allowing an improved imaging of retinal vascular plexuses and choriocapillaris. The present two patients diagnosed with multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) underwent fundus autofluorescence (FAF), en-face SS-OCT, and SS-OCT angiography (OCTA) imaging, and its features were described and correlated.
Results: The clinical and imaging findings of both cases were consistent with the diagnosis of MEWDS.

Background And Objective: To illustrate how optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA) can be misinterpreted if not evaluated along with structural en face OCT to analyze the signal intensity.
Patients And Methods: Patients with different macular diseases associated with suspicious flow impairment in the choriocapillaris were recruited to be imaged on the RTVue XR Avanti device (Optovue, Fremont, CA) with the Angio Retina mode. En face OCT angiograms, structural en face OCT, and corresponding OCT B-scans with flow signal overlaid were compared to evaluate the correspondence of signal strength to areas of flow reduction in the choriocapillaris.
