Distinction between lamellar holes and macular pseudoholes
Mar 12, 2018 · Dr. Thompson defined pseudomacular holes as a clinical diagnosis as seen via slit lamp biomicroscopy versus optical coherence tomography (OCT). “Use pseudomacular holes only to describe the biomicroscopic appearance,” he added. In contrast, a lamellar macular hole is defined by the appearance of the fovea via OCT.

Diagnosing and treating MacTel degenerative retinal disease
Aug 1, 2017 · Later, Gass and Blodi identified three subtypes of the disease. 2 In 2006, Yannuzzi et al. proposed a classification that is commonly used: aneurysmal (type 1), perifoveal (type 2) and occlusive (type 3). 3 Type 1 appears to be a variant of Coats disease and type 3 is likely comprised of familial disorders with systemic associations. MacTel type 2 is the most common type and is the focus of ...
Retinectomy-under-air solution for retina reattachment
Aug 7, 2017 · Retinectomy-under-air is performed only if the retina remains detached after all measures have been taken. It is done in an incremental fashion to remove only the amount of tissue that is necessary to reattach the retina. If, however, the retinectomy reaches 270°, it should be extended to 360° because the remaining quadrant will contract ...

MCO-010 optogenetic gene therapy for severe vision loss in …
Nov 17, 2023 · MCO-010 is a novel adeno-associated virus (AAV2)-delivered optogenetic gene therapy for treatment of severe vision loss in patients with Stargardt disease. This disease, also known as juvenile macular dystrophy, is an inherited retinal disorder that affects approximately 1 in 8,000-10,000 people in the US. 1.
True-to-life retinal imaging with the new ultrawidefield color RGB …
Jun 23, 2024 · Ultrawidefield (UWF) imaging is defined as retinal imaging beyond the vortex vein ampullae in all quadrants with a single capture, equating to a 110° to 220° view of the retina. 1 Compared to the limited 30° to 50° view of traditional fundus photography, UWF imaging provides unparalleled access to the peripheral retina, enabling the visualization of previously undetected pathologies and ...
