Article Abstract

Objective:: To evaluate the relationship between central macular thickness (CMT) and the presence of persistent avascular retina (PAR) in previously premature children.

Methods:: 17 4-8 year olds with a history of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening were recruited, and underwent OCT and ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography (UWFFA).

Results:: CMT was higher in PAR patients ( < 0.001). A central retina thickness above 260 μm had sensitivity/specificity of 95%/100% for detecting PAR.

Conclusions:: There may be an association between macular thickness as measured by OCT and the presence of PAR on UWFFA.

Natural history of tractional lamellar macular hole.

Retina

September 2025

Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, Korea.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term functional and anatomical outcomes in patients with tractional lamellar macular holes who were managed without surgical intervention.

Methods: 63 eyes previously diagnosed with tractional lamellar macular hole between July 1, 2009 and January 30, 2024 without any surgical interventions were enrolled. The change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), lamellar hole diameter, central retinal thickness (CRT) on Optical coherence tomography (OCT), foveal avascular zone (FAZ) areas on OCT angiography, and M-chart scores between initial and final visit were assessed.

Purpose: To compare the clinical features, multimodal imaging characteristics, and treatment outcomes of primary and secondary large retinal capillary aneurysms (LRCA).

Methods: A total of 34 eyes were included: seven with primary LRCA and 27 with secondary LRCA. All patients underwent fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fundus fluorescein angiography.

Purpose: To assess how transitioning from an Aflibercept to a Faricimab intravitreal treatment impacts retinal structures and functional aspects in patients with neovascular age related macular degeneration (nAMD) in a real-life setting.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective clinical study including 49 patients (57 eyes) with nAMD at the Department of Ophthalmology and Optometry, Kepler University Hospital, Linz, Austria was performed. The patients, who had previously been receiving monthly Aflibercept injections with an unsatisfactory treatment response, were switched to intravitreal Faricimab and followed-up between 12/2022 and 12/2023.

Purpose: To evaluate visual, anatomical and safety outcomes of aflibercept 8 mg in previously treated patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Methods: This retrospective study included nAMD patients switched to aflibercept 8 mg from prior anti-VEGF therapies at Sahlgrenska University Hospital between February 2024 and February 2025. Data on best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central retinal thickness (CRT), pigment epithelial detachment (PED) height, fluid status, treatment intervals, time to fluid recurrence and adverse events were collected.

Temporary silicone oil tamponade for persistent macular holes: a multicentre study.

Br J Ophthalmol

September 2025

Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital Cologne, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany

Background: Persistent full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs) following primary surgery represent a therapeutic challenge. Various surgical treatment approaches have been proposed. This study evaluates anatomical and functional outcomes of a temporary silicone oil tamponade in persistent FTMH in a larger cohort.
