Pediatric genetic macular and choroidal diseases.
Genetic diseases of the macula and choroid have various inheritance patterns and varying degrees of impact on vision. Herein, we review the literature including most recent advances in the understanding of the genetics of these diseases. Although many of these disorders have limited treatment options, knowledge of inheritance patterns can aid in early detection and with close monitoring can hel...
متن کاملBevacizumab for the treatment of pediatric retinal and choroidal diseases.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of off-label intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) for the treatment of pediatric retinal and choroidal vascular diseases.

متن کاملMacular choroidal thickness and volume in healthy pediatric individuals measured by swept-source optical coherence tomography.
PURPOSE We evaluated the choroidal thickness and volume in healthy pediatric individuals by swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and compared the findings to those of adults. METHODS We examined 100 eyes of 100 healthy pediatric volunteers (3-15 years) and 83 eyes of 83 healthy adult volunteers (24-87 years) by SS-OCT with a tunable long wavelength laser source. The three-dimens...
متن کاملPeripapillary and Macular Choroidal Thickness in Glaucoma
PURPOSE To compare choroidal thickness (CT) between individuals with and without glaucomatous damage and to explore the association of peripapillary and submacular CT with glaucoma severity using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). METHODS Ninety-one eyes of 20 normal subjects and 43 glaucoma patients from the UCLA SD-OCT Imaging Study were enrolled. Imaging was performed u...
متن کاملChoroidal neovascularization and age-related macular degeneration.
and dysfunctional RPE are thought to be pivotal.66 CSR is a common maculopathy that can adversely affect central visual function and is 6-fold more common in males than females.67 Affected patients are typically between 30 and 50 years of age. Many putative risk factors exist for the development of CSR, the most conclusive being any form of exogenous corticosteroid use. Other risk factors inclu...
