Abstract

Type 1 extrafoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration was diagnosed in a 68-year-old woman using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) alone. The entire network of vessels was clearly visible on a 12 × 12 mm OCT-A scan segmented below the retinal pigment epithelium. The patient was initially treated with intravitreal ranibizumab followed by photodynamic therapy (PDT) guided by OCT-A. Complete resolution of subretinal fluid with shrinkage of the neovascular complex was noted 1 month after PDT.

Video-based surgical curriculum for open-globe injury repair, I: open-globe injury

As one of the most severe forms of ocular trauma, open-globe injury (OGI) causes significant vision loss. Timely and meticulous repair of these injuries can improve patient outcomes. This video-based educational curriculum is intended to serve as a quick and efficient yet comprehensive reference for OGI repair. We hope that these video-based articles help surgeons and trainees from around the world find answers to specific surgical questions in OGI management. The curriculum has been divided into six separate review articles, each authored by a different set of authors, to facilitate a systematic and practical approach to the subject of wound types and repair techniques. The first article highlights pertinent terminology and standardized definitions for OGI trauma, which aids in communication, prognostication, and outcomes research.
