The parapapillary chorio-pigment-epithelio-retinal atrophy in glaucomatous eyes is significantly larger than in normal eyes. In a previous study its area and frequency have been measured in 582 eyes of 321 patients with chronic primary open-angle glaucoma and in 390 eyes of 231 normal subjects. In the current study the parapapillary changes were correlated with intrapapillary morphometric data ...

Purpose: To describe the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography features of chorioretinal folds of various etiology. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional observational case series of consecutive patients with chorioretinal folds. All patients underwent enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography over a two-month study period. Clinical variables and imaging features including sub...

This report describes an atypical case of pigmented paravenous chorioretinal atrophy, associated with focal progressive peripheral retinal microangiopathy, in a 51-year-old black female. The eyes were asymmetrically involved. Although several cases have been reported with typical features of this uncommon entity, none of them have been known to be associated with retinal microangiopathy. The oc...

Myopic foveoschisis is one of the major complications of pathologic myopia, and it was most recently identified by new imaging modalities. During the natural evolution of this complication, anatomical and visual improvement without surgical intervention is an unusual course, and most of these eyes remain stable or progressively worsen. The authors report a case of a highly myopic eye that devel...

OBJECTIVE To describe the severity and morphological features of high myopic maculopathy in Chinese patients and to evaluate their association with age, refractive error and visual acuity. METHODS Six hundred and four eyes of 337 patients (ages 8-88 years) with high myopia (refractive error ≤ -6.0 D) presenting to the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center were studied retrospectively. All patients unde...

Purpose To report a novel clinical sign in patients with intraocular tuberculosis. The current study is an observational consecutive case series of patients diagnosed with intraocular tuberculosis managed at a tertiary eye care centre from June 1, 2012 to December 31, 2015. Observations The diagnosis of intraocular tuberculosis was made in 6 patients based on ocular features suggestive of tub...

Introduction Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina is a metabolic disorder, which is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Although gyrate atrophy is rare, it is concerning as it results in blindness. It is characterized by hyperornithinemia, retinal atrophy, leads to progressive myopia and tunnel vision,...
