THREE-YEAR CLINICAL OUTCOMES IN GEOGRAPHIC ATROPHY An Analysis of 18,712 Patient Eyes Shughoury, Aumer MD; Boucher, Nick BS; Aggarwal, Nitika BS; Ciulla, Thomas A. MD Retina 45(2):p 188-197, February 2025 Eyes with geographic atrophy were retrospectively analyzed over 36 months. Mean visual acuity declined by two to three lines. Baseline age and visual impairment correlated with rate of decline. Presence of neovascular age-related macular degeneration in the fellow eye was associated with a 2-fold higher risk of exudative conversion. https://journals.lww.com/retinajournal/abstract/2025/02000/three_year_clinical_outcomes_in_geographic.3.aspx #retina @ThomasCiullaMD @AShughoury

FLUID RESOLUTION WITHOUT SHORTENING INJECTION INTERVAL DURING SUBRETINAL FLUID–TOLERATING TREATMENT IN NEOVASCULAR AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION Lee, Ji Hyun MD; Park, Sang Min MD; Kim, Jae Hui MD Retina 45(2):p 178-187, February 2025 During the subretinal fluid–tolerating treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration, a substantial proportion of patients exhibited resolution of fluid without shortening the injection interval. A reduced amount of residual fluid during the treatment course is closely associated with fluid resolution. https://journals.lww.com/retinajournal/abstract/2025/02000/fluid_resolution_without_shortening_injection.2.aspx #retina

OPEN ACCESS Article MACULAR VOLUME SCAN AS A MARKER OF ANGIOGRAPHIC UVEITIC RETINAL VASCULITIS A Retrospective Longitudinal Study Alapati, Akhila MD, MBA; Kherani, Saleema MD, MPH; Begaj, Tedi MD; Janetos, Timothy M. MD, MBA; Zhang, Kevin MD, PhD; Koreishi, Anjum MD; Goldstein, Debra A. MD Retina 45(1):p 147-153, January 2025 This study found a significant correlation between optical coherence tomography macular thickness near the arcades and vasculitis on fluorescein angiogram in posterior pole and periphery. While optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiogram are not interchangeable, these results allow monitoring of treatment response between angiograms. https://journals.lww.com/retinajournal/fulltext/2025/01000/macular_volume_scan_as_a_marker_of_angiographic.19.aspx #retina

TIME-COURSE RETINAL CIRCULATION CHANGES IN EYES WITH CENTRAL RETINAL ARTERY OCCLUSION USING LASER SPECKLE FLOWGRAPHY Tanaka, Shin MD, PhD; Soga, Naoki MD; Hirono, Kazushi MD; Okawa, Kazuyoshi MD; Chin, Jacob Y. H. MD; Kitahata, Shohei MD, PhD; Inoue, Tatsuya MD, PhD; Maruyama-Inoue, Maiko MD, PhD; Kadonosono, Kazuaki MD, PhD Retina 45(1):p 133-140, January 2025 Laser speckle flowgraphy showed that the retinal circulation improved significantly within 1 month and younger patients had better improvement in the retinal circulation in eyes with central retinal artery occlusion. The baseline best-corrected visual acuity and retinal circulation within 1 month were correlated with the final best-corrected visual acuity. https://journals.lww.com/retinajournal/abstract/2025/01000/time_course_retinal_circulation_changes_in_eyes.17.aspx #retina #CRAO #LSFG #Retina #Retinal circulation

FACTORS DEFINING DENSITY OF RETINAL MACROPHAGE-LIKE CELLS DISPLAYED WITH OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY Maltsev, Dmitrii S. MD, DSc; Kulikov, Alexei N. MD, DCs; Gorlova, Arina S. MD; Vasiliev, Alexander S. MD Retina 45(1):p 117-127, January 2025 Retinal macrophage-like cell density correlates with axial length, refractive error, choroidal thickness, age, and status of the vitreoretinal interface. The latter directly defines macrophage-like cell density, although axial length may play a basic role. https://journals.lww.com/retinajournal/abstract/2025/01000/factors_defining_density_of_retinal.15.aspx #retina @maltsev_md #retinalimaging #retinaldisease

A NOVEL FOUR-POINT SCLERAL FIXATION TECHNIQUE WITH A HYDROPHOBIC INTRAOCULAR LENS The Loop to Optic and Trailing end to Outside Technique Ghazi, Nicola G. MD; Goldsmith, Jason MD; Weston, James PhD; Sabah, Shafiya MS; Teo, Jeremy C.M. PhD, MEng Retina 45(1):p 107-116, January 2025 The authors describe a novel four-point intraocular lens scleral fixation technique that offers several advantages over previously reported techniques, including using a readily available hydrophobic intraocular lens and avoiding conjunctival and scleral manipulation (flaps/pockets). https://journals.lww.com/retinajournal/abstract/2025/01000/a_novel_four_point_scleral_fixation_technique_with.14.aspx #retina

VASCULAR CHANGES AND IRREVERSIBLE COMPLICATIONS IN 120° FUNDUS USING WIDEFIELD SWEPT-SOURCE OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY IN VOGT–KOYANAGI–HARADA DISEASE Guo, Suo MD; Xia, Lan MD; Hu, Rong BS; Wang, Jing MD; Yang, Peizeng MD, PHD Retina 45(1):p 79-87, January 2025 120° Widefield SS-OCTA showed that VKH patients with duration of >24 months exhibited severe ischemia in LMVC.
