Purpose: To identify the clinical parameters predictive of persistent subretinal fluid in acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).
Methods: Clinical data of consecutive eyes diagnosed with first-time, acute, treatment-naïve CSC followed up for at least 6 months from symptom onset were evaluated retrospectively. Acute CSC was defined as CSC in which symptoms were noticed within 3 months of presentation. Subretinal fluid, central retinal thickness, subfoveal choroidal thickness, and fundus autofluorescence were examined.
Results: Of the 48 eyes in 48 patients, 38% exhibited subretinal fluid persisting for at least 6 months after the symptom onset. Fundus autofluorescence alterations at baseline were observed in 52% and 36% of affected and fellow eyes, respectively. Multivariable analysis showed that persistent fluid was significantly associated with the presence of fundus autofluorescence alterations in fellow eyes (odds ratio = 23.5, P = 0.024), in addition to greater age (odds ratio = 1.16, P = 0.015) and thicker central retinal thickness (odds ratio = 1.01, P = 0.022).
Conclusion: Fellow eye fundus autofluorescence alterations, in addition to older age and thicker central retinal thickness, were significant predictors of persistent subretinal fluid in patients with acute CSC. These findings underscore CSC's bilateral aspects and noninvasive markers' role in predicting persistent subretinal fluid.

Eye Clinic, Humanitas-Gradenigo Hospital, Torino, Italy.
Purpose: To study the efficacy and safety of pro re nata regimen of brolucizumab, without loading dose, in treatment-naive patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
Case Series: Retrospective, observational study. We included all consecutive patients diagnosed with treatment- naïve nAMD undergoing Brolucizumab in Humanitas eye clinic, Turin, Italy between April 2022 and May 2023.

Purpose: To describe a case of recalcitrant bilateral peripapillary pachychoroid syndrome (PPS) treated with high-dose (HD) intravitreal aflibercept injections.
Methods: Medical and imaging records were retrospectively evaluated. Multimodal imaging included ultra-widefield indocyanine green and fluorescein angiography and fundus autofluorescence.
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.

Unlabelled: Automated analysis of optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers improves the prediction of results of loading anti-VEGF therapy of vascular pigment epithelial detachment (PED) associated with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
Objective: This study evaluated the effectiveness of OCT biomarker analysis algorithm in predicting the anatomical outcomes of loading anti-VEGF therapy for vascular PED in nAMD.
Material And Methods: OCT scans performed prior to loading anti-VEGF therapy were analyzed using the algorithm in 69 treatment-naïve nAMD patients (70 eyes) with vascular PED exceeding 200 µm in height.
