INTRODUCTION Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a very common cause of vision loss especially in elderly patients living in developed countries. ARMD is caused by the accumulation of drusen in the macula, which is the most important part of the retina, and this process ends in serious irreversible visual impairment. Pigment epithelial detachment (PED) may be seen in all stages of ARMD a...

PURPOSE To report on a case that developed an atypical form of occult choroidal neovascularization (CNV) after successful macular hole surgery. METHODS Visual acuity change, color fundus photographs, fluorescein and indocyanine green angiograms, and optical coherence tomography results were compared throughout the follow-up duration. PATIENTS A 64-year-old woman with a macular hole in the r...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze early retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) utilizing a novel imaging modality, Projection-Resolved Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (PR-OCTA). Observations Five months prior to the diagnosis of a RAP lesion, cross-sectional PR-OCTA demonstrated flow in the outer retina contiguous with the deep retinal capillary plexus (DCP) and adjace...

AIMS To analyse the histopathology of vascularised pigment epithelial detachments and tears of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in age related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS The light microscopic architecture of 10 surgically removed subretinal specimens-three vascularised pigment epithelial detachments, four recent tears, and three scarred tears as a manifestation of AMD-were studie...
