Article Abstract

The subretinal injection technique is an important intraocular drug delivery modality that allows access to the subretinal space to directly act on target cells or the administration of medications, markedly improving the therapeutic efficacy of ocular diseases. Subretinal injection in experimental animals is a commonly used manipulation method for investigating vitreoretinal diseases, particularly when gene therapy and cell therapy studies are involved. In this study, we conducted a systematic review on the injection methods, operation sites, post-injection indicators, as well as the progress and significance of subretinal injection in experimental animals, discussed and compared the advantages and disadvantages of the subretinal injection technique, summarized its specific application of subretinal injection in experimental animals, and explored the development and application of this new technology of subretinal injection, hoping to offer insights that may facilitate the further development of this technology.

Retinal Disorders and Ophthalmic Genetics Division, Stein Eye Institute, University of California of Los Angeles, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, California, United States.

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.

Bietti crystalline dystrophy (BCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the gene, characterized by crystal-like lipid deposits in the retina, progressive photoreceptor loss, and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) deterioration. Currently, there are no approved treatments for BCD. VGR-R01, an investigational gene therapy, uses subretinal administration of recombinant adeno-associated virus type 8 (AAV8) vector to deliver the human CYP4V2 gene.

Amorphous silicon resistors enable smaller pixels in photovoltaic retinal prosthesis.

Hansen Experimental Physics Laboratory, Stanford University, 452 Lomita Mall, Stanford, California, 94305, UNITED STATES.

Clinical trials of the photovoltaic subretinal prosthesis PRIMA demonstrated feasibility of prosthetic central vision with resolution matching its 100 μm pixel width. To improve prosthetic acuity further, pixel size should be decreased. However, there are multiple challenges, one of which is related to accommodating a compact shunt resistor within each pixel that discharges the electrodes between stimulation pulses and helps increase the contrast of the electric field pattern.

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.
