A floating ball inside the eye in smartphone slit-lamp imaging: A case report of a pediatric vitreous cyst and a literature review.

An 8-year-old male patient was presented with a chief complaint of visual perception of a spherical object located in the visual field of his right eye. According to the patient's prior medical records, they exhibited a sole incident of minor visual impairment in the right eye, characterized by blurred vision (best-corrected visual acuity: 8/10), which first manifested during preschool assessments at the age of 5 years. During the fundoscopic examination of the patient, a pigmented, lobulated, and mobile vitreous cyst was observed in the right eye, whereas the examination of the patient's left eye revealed no abnormalities. A video of a smartphone slit-lamp imaging was also captured to facilitate subsequent examinations and patient follow-up.

Uveal melanoma in the Iranian population: two decades of patient management in a tertiary eye center.

BACKGROUND: To assess the characteristics and outcomes of uveal melanoma management at a tertiary center in the Middle East. METHODS: A study on 164 patients with uveal melanoma was conducted by reviewing the available medical records, ultrasound, and pathology report results. Age at diagnosis, tumor location and size, treatment mode, visual outcome, metastasis, mortality, and survival were studied. RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 52.0 ± 15.0 years, and 52.5% were male. Choroidal melanoma was the most common uveal melanoma, followed by the ciliary body and iris melanoma. The mean thickness of tumors was 8.29 ± 3.29. The majority of patients (n = 111, 67.9%) were managed by brachytherapy with ruthenium-106 plaques. Enucleation was performed primarily in 46 (28%) patients and secondarily in nine (5.5%) patients. The sexual disparity was detected as the proximity of uveal melanoma to the fovea in males. For a 61-month mean follow-up period, mortality occurred in eight of our cases, six of which were due to metastasis. The most common site for distance metastasis was the liver (5/6), followed by the lung (1/6). The five-year and eight-year overall survival (OS) rate was 0.947%± 0.019. The 5-year survival rate reached zero in metastatic patients. OS was not statistically different depending on the age, tumor diameters, the primary treatment received, or the histopathologic findings (p > 0.50 for all). CONCLUSION: In this study, individuals diagnosed with UM exhibited an OS rate of around 94% at the five-year mark, which remained consistent up to eight years. Notably, the presence of distance metastasis emerged as the sole statistically significant factor influencing overall survival.

Pediatric ocular melanoma: a collaborative multicenter study and meta-analysis.

PURPOSE: To investigate clinical manifestations and prognoses in pediatric patients (≤12 years old) with ocular melanoma. METHODS: This was a retrospective, multicenter cohort study with individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis pooling available published cases, and unpublished cases from an international collaboration of seven ocular oncology centers. RESULTS: There were 133 eyes of 133 pediatric patients with choroidal or ciliary body (n = 66 [50%]), iris (n = 33 [25%]), conjunctival (n = 26 [19%]), and eyelid (n = 8 [6%]) melanoma. Overall, the mean patient age at presentation was 7 years (median, 8; range, 1-12 years), with 63 males (49%). The mean age by tumor site was 6.50 ± 3.90, 7.44 ± 3.57, 9.12 ± 2.61, and 5.63 ± 2.38 years, for choroid/ciliary body, iris, conjunctiva, and eyelid melanoma, respectively (P = 0.001). Association with ocular melanocytosis was seen in 15%, 11%, 4%, and 0%, respectively (P = 0.01). Frequency of ocular melanoma family history did not vary by tumor site (7%, 17%, 9% and 12%, resp. [P = 0.26]). After mean follow-up of 74, 85, 50, and 105 months (P = 0.65), metastasis was seen in 12%, 9%, 19%, and 13% of choroid/ciliary body, iris, conjunctiva, and eyelid melanoma, respectively. Death was reported in 5%, 3%, 8%, and 0%, respectively, with survival analysis indicating higher mortality in choroidal/ciliary body and conjunctival melanoma patients. CONCLUSIONS: Ocular melanoma in the pediatric population is rare, with unique clinical features and outcomes. Iris melanoma accounts for about one-third of pediatric uveal melanoma cases.

Pachychoroid neovasculopathy versus macular neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration with and without shallow irregular pigment epithelial detachment.

To compare the choroidal neovascular features of individuals with pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV) and neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) with and without shallow irregular pigment epithelial detachment (SIPED). Using optical coherence tomography angiography, the choroidal neovascular complexes of 27 patients with PNV, 34 patients with nAMD and SIPED, and 15 patients with nAMD without SIPED were analyzed with FIJI and AngioTool software. PNV compared to nAMD with SIPED had a greater vessel percentage area (P = 0.034), junction density (P = 0.045), average vessel length (P < 0.001), and fractal dimension (P < 0.001). PNV, compared to nAMD without SIPED, had a greater total vessel length (P = 0.002), total number of junctions (P < 0.001), junction density (P = 0.034), and fractal dimension (P = 0.005). nAMD with SIPED, compared to nAMD without SIPED, had greater vessel area, total number of junctions, total vessel length, and average vessel length (all P values < 0.001). Patients with nAMD plus SIPED and individuals with nAMD without SIPED have similar fractal dimension values (P = 0.703). Biomarkers of choroidal neovascular complexity, such as fractal dimension, can be used to differentiate PNV from nAMD with or without SIPED.

Eccentric Fixation and Good Visual Acuity in a Child with Large Traumatic Macular Hole: A Case Report.

A girl of 8 years old was referred to our clinic with a history of penetrating injury to her left eye 6 years ago with light perception vision and a large traumatic macular hole in her right eye. Her right eye's vision was 4/10 when she first visited our clinic. Considering the patient's one-eye status, her parents' reluctance to undergo surgery, and the possibility of spontaneous closure of traumatic macular holes, it was determined to observe the patient and evaluate her visual acuity and macular hole condition. In 2 years, the final best corrected visual acuity was 8/10 in the right eye, with infratemporal eccentric fixation in visuoscopy. In addition to evaluating and reporting this case as a traumatic macular hole, we will discuss the role of nonsurgical treatment and the possibility of good visual acuity with eccentric fixation in a child with large traumatic macular hole.

Massive Uveal Relapse of Retinoblastoma Presumed to Be Choroidal Tumorous Involvement: Case Series.

We report the choroidal and ciliary body invasion by retinoblastoma (RB) in a salvaged eye after complete and successful primary treatment. Case 1: A 25-month-old boy was referred due to group B RB lesions based on the International Classification of RB (ICRB; groups A-E) in the right eye (OD). His left eye (OS) was enucleated because of advanced group E RB. After 47 months of uneventful follow-up (F/U), a new lesion recurred and was treated with transpupillary thermotherapy. Four months later, a fast-growing pigmented subretinal mass was detected that was treated by brachytherapy with the apical dose of 80 Gy. Three weeks later, the lesion regressed completely, and no recurrence happened after 6 years of F/U. Case 2: A 4-month-old girl with a deletion in chromosome 13 was referred for bilateral RB. OD was enucleated because of unresponsive RB and anterior segment involvement. In OS, group B lesions had multiple recurrences after systemic chemotherapy. After a while, a single mass appeared in the nasal periphery which was controlled well with brachytherapy. Four months later, AC involvement was controlled with IAC, intravitreal, and intracameral chemotherapy, but posterior synechia and cataract appeared later. One year after the last treatment, UBM showed a ring-shaped ciliary body mass. Her parents refused enucleation again, and she received intravenous chemotherapy. Two years later, magnetic resonance imaging showed orbital and optic canal involvement with a deformed globe. In conclusion, RB recurrence can appear as local choroidal and ciliary body involvement even after a time of complete remission. The role of B-scan and UBM in early diagnosis and successful treatment is valuable.

Retinal astrocytic hamartoma complicated by branch retinal vein occlusion in a patient with tuberous sclerosis complex.

Purpose: To report a case with branch retinal vein occlusion secondary to a retinal astrocytic hamartoma in a patient with tuberous sclerosis complex. Observations: A fourteen-year-old boy, a known case of tuberous sclerosis complex, with multiple bilateral retinal astrocytic hamartomas was followed by 6 months intervals. In his last follow-up, 6 months after initial presentation, the patient developed angiographic signs of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) in the superotemporal arcade of the right eye distal to one of the retinal astrocytic hamartomas. He underwent targeted retinal laser photocoagulation. No secondary complication related to BRVO was observed during the next six-month follow-up. Conclusion: And Importance: Although the co-occurrence of branch retinal vein occlusion and astrocytic hamartoma may represent an incidental finding, awareness of BRVO as a possible complication associated with retinal astrocytic hamartoma helps timely diagnosis and prompt treatment of this complication, improving the visual prognosis of these patients.

Dosimetric Investigation of Six Ru-106 Eye Plaques by EBT3 Radiochromic Films and Monte Carlo Simulation.

Background: Ophthalmic brachytherapy using radioactive plaques is an effective technique for the treatment of uveal melanoma. Ru-106 eye plaques are considered as interesting issue due to their steep gradient dose. The pre-planning evaluation of dosimetric parameters is essential for the treatment planning system. Objective: The current study aims at providing dose distributions of six Ru-106 eye plaques (CCA, CCB, CGD, CIB, COB and COD) using radiochromic EBT3 film, Geant4 Monte Carlo toolkit and the treatment planning software (Plaque Simulator). Material and Methods: In this experimental study, an in-house phantom was employed for depth dose measurements with EBT3 films. Also, Geant4.10.5 scoring mesh was implemented to obtain the 2D dose distribution of the plaques. The results were compared with Plaque Simulator software and the manufacturer's (BEBIG) data. The gamma index criterion (3%/3 mm) was used to evaluate dose distributions obtained by the film measurements and Geant4 simulation. Results: A good agreement was achieved between simulation and experimental results. Gamma index passing rate was 94.2%, 89.3%, 88.2%, 82.2%, 92.2% and 90.1% for CCA, CCB, CGD, CIB, COB and COD plaques, respectively. Absolute dose rate (mGy/min) obtained by EBT3 film at the depth of 2 mm was 79.4 mGy/min, 81.0 mGy/min, 78.6 mGy/min, 62.2 mGy/min, 75.2 mGy/min and 81.2 mGy/min for CCA, CCB, CGD, CIB, COB and COD plaques, respectively. Conclusion: The measured dose distributions and lateral dose profiles may be utilized in the treatment planning system to cover clinical volumes such as the clinical target volume and the gross tumor volume.

Bacillary Layer Detachment in Diabetic Retinopathy: A Case Report.

To our knowledge, this is the first report to describe bacillary layer detachment (BLD) in a patient with diabetic retinopathy treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor. We present the case of a 55-year-old diabetic female who was referred to our hospital complaining of decreased vision in her left eye for 2 weeks. Fundus examination of both eyes was compatible with diabetic retinopathy. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography of the left eye showed a large dome-shaped cystic space with marginal septa, splitting the myoid zone, consistent with the BLD phenotype. A single dose of intravitreal bevacizumab injection was administered. After 4 weeks, BCVA was improved significantly with complete resolution of BLD. Underlying choroidal ischemia in patients with different vascular disorders like diabetes mellitus may lead to photoreceptor stress and BLD. This study adds to the growing literature, which describes BLD as a marker of fluid accumulation in relation to several macular diseases.

Tamoxifen retinopathy.

Tamoxifen (TAM) is a selective estrogen receptor modulator that is used in the treatment of breast cancer. As there are estrogen receptors in the retina, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid, these tissues may also be affected by TAM. We describe the reported effects of TAM on the retina and choroid. Medical databases were searched using relevant keywords and the results were extracted and pooled. The incidence of retinal/choroidal toxicity ranged from 0.9% to 12%. There was a wide range for the time of exposure before the development of TAM retinopathy (3 weeks to 13 years). While functional measurements may be appropriate for assessment of TAM retinopathy, they have not been effective for screening patients. There is no generally accepted screening modality, but serial funduscopy and optical coherence tomography imaging seem to be the most reasonable approach for detecting early TAM-induced retinal toxicity.

Cataract surgery in patients with retinitis pigmentosa: systematic review.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited bilateral retinal degenerative disease with an incidence of 1 in 4000 people. RP affects more than 1 million individuals worldwide. Although night blindness and restricted visual field are the most typical symptoms of these individuals, generalized vision loss due to cataracts can be expected in the latter stages of the disease. It has been demonstrated that posterior subcapsular cataract is the most prevalent cataract in younger individuals with RP, as opposed to age-related cataracts. Although most ophthalmologists may have a negative view of cataract surgery in patients with RP, it appears that it can play an important role in the visual restoration of patients with RP. However, there are concerns about performing cataract surgery for patients with RP. Herein, a systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses on databases of MEDLINE and Scopus.

Addition of intravitreal carboplatin with melphalan for management of vitreous seeding in retinoblastoma.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of intravitreal carboplatin plus melphalan for the treatment of vitreous seeds in eyes with retinoblastoma (RB). METHODS: This retrospective series at a tertiary referral center included 22 consecutive RB patients who had received intravitreal carboplatin (16 µg per 0.05 ml) combined with melphalan (30 µg in 0.03 ml) [IVi (Ca-Me)] for treatment of vitreous seeds. Tumor control and drug toxicities were recorded. RESULTS: There were 22 eyes of 22 patients, divided into primary group (n = 13) without history of previous intravitreal chemotherapy (IViC) and refractory group (n = 9) with history of previous IViC using melphalan and/or topotecan. The demographics and clinical findings of the primary and refractory groups did not differ significantly. The 6-month follow-up revealed complete vitreous seed control (77% vs. 89%, p = 0.47). Vitreous seed recurrence was detected in 1 eye of each group at 6 months. During the next 18-month follow-up period, no recurrence of seed was observed. The response to IVi (Ca-Me) was not significantly influenced by previous IViC (p = 0.70), primary systemic or intra-arterial chemotherapy (p = 0.45), or the type of regression (p = 0.35). The most common tumor treatment complications were retinal detachment (RD) (n = 2), early hypotony (n = 2) and late hypotony (n = 4, unrelated), cataract (n = 2), and severe pigment dispersion (n = 1). Enucleation was performed in 8 eyes, for total RD (n = 1), phthisis bulbi (n = 5), and extensive solid tumor recurrence (n = 2). There was no case of orbital invasion, systemic metastasis, or death. CONCLUSION: Based on this interventional case series for primary and refractory vitreous RB seeds, carboplatin plus melphalan therapy may be effective with few toxic side effects.

Pars plana vitrectomy combined with phacoemulsification versus pars plana vitrectomy only for treatment of phakic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

PURPOSE: To compare the visual, refractive, and anatomical outcomes and incidence of complications between combined pars plana vitrectomy and phacoemulsification (phacovitrectomy) versus pars plana vitrectomy (PPV-only) in phakic eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS: Two independent reviewers searched MEDLINE, Cochrane Central, and Web of Science to identify relevant articles. Prospective or retrospective studies comparing PPV-only and phacovitrectomy for RRD were included. Recruited studies provided information about at least anatomical success or refractive outcomes. Meta-analysis was performed for single surgery success rate, final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), postoperative complications, mean predicted refractive error, and mean absolute predicted refractive error. RESULTS: Seven studies (788 eyes) were selected, including two clinical trials and five retrospective comparative case series. The single surgery success rate was similar in PPV-only and phacovitrectomy groups (risk ratio [RR] = 1.02; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.95-1.10; P = 0.57). Mean final BCVA was significantly better in the PPV-only group than the phacovitrectomy group (MD = 0.06; 95% CI 0.00-0.12; P = 0.04). The risk of epiretinal membrane formation was significantly higher in eyes that underwent phacovitrectomy than PPV-only (RR = 2.85; 0.95% CI 1.5-5.41; P = 0.001). Phacovitrectomy group showed a more myopic final mean predicted refractive error than PPV-only group (MD = -0.31; 95% CI -0.55--0.07; P = 0.01). CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the anatomical outcome. Slightly better visual and refractive results were observed in the PPV-only group. However, the results should be interpreted with caution as the majority of included studies were low-quality retrospective studies.

Non-cystic macular thickening on optical coherence tomography as an alternative to fluorescein angiography for predicting retinal vascular leakage in early stages of uveitis.

To evaluate the relationship between non-cystic thickening of the macula on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and retinal vascular leakage on fluorescein angiogram (FA) in patients with uveitis. A cross-sectional study of patients seen in the uveitis clinic. Patients with any degree of inflammatory cells in the anterior vitreous were included, provided that no macular cyst or subretinal fluid or macular atrophy was observed in OCT. The correlation between OCT features and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), the degree of inflammation, and FA findings were examined. The severity of vascular leakage in FA was graded for optic nerve, macula and posterior and peripheral leakage. We used generalized estimation equation to assess the associations between macular thickness and volume with angiographic scores. A total of 43 patients (100 exam data) met inclusion criteria. There was a significant relationship between OCT parameters (central macular thickness, 3 mm and 6 mm perifoveal macular thickness as well as total and central macular volume) with angiographic scores (macular, optic disc, posterior and peripheral vascular leakage score) (all P values < 0.0001). The correlation between the 6 mm perifoveal thickness and peripheral vascular leakage score (R = 0.76; P < 0.001) was stronger than the correlation of CMT with this angiographic score (R = 0.69; P < 0.001). Non-cystic thickening of the macula on OCT, especially in perifoveal area, is a reliable predictor of the presence of retinal vascular leakage in patients with uveitis.

Post-intravitreal injection endophthalmitis pattern during the COVID-19 pandemic with implementation of patients' masking.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of patient facial masks on the occurrence of post-intravitreal injection (IVI) endophthalmitis in a real-word setting. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort, patients receiving IVIs between 20 February 2019 and 20 February 2021; a 12-month period before the official beginning of COVID-19 epidemic in Iran and a 12-month period thereafter were included. In the pre-COVID era, patients underwent IVI without a facial mask while in the COVID era patients wore an untaped facial mask. Physicians and staff had facial mask in both periods. IVIs were administered in a dedicated operating room without a strict no talk-policy. The main outcome measure was the rate of post-IVI endophthalmitis. RESULTS: A total number of 53,927 injections was performed during the study period: 34,277 in pre-COVID and 19,650 in COVID periods; with a 42.7% decrease in the number of injections. Endophthalmitis occurred in 7 eyes (0.020%) in pre-COVID and 7 eyes (0.036%) in COVID era (p = 0.40). In multivariate analysis, after adjustment for intercorrelations between the eyes and multiple injections in one patient, there was no statistically significant association between wearing facial masks by the patients and risk of endophthalmitis (relative risk = 1.47, 95% confidence interval of 0.97-2.22; p = 0.071). CONCLUSION: Patients' facial masking is not associated with an increased risk of post-injection endophthalmitis.

Management of primary choroidal lymphoma presenting as extensive serous retinal detachment and salmon patch of bulbar conjunctiva: a case report.

BACKGROUND: We describe the outcome of ultra-low-dose radiotherapy plus intravitreal methotrexate and rituximab injections for a patient with primary choroidal lymphoma who presented with nodular conjunctival salmon patches and extensive serous retinal detachment. CASE PRESENTATION: A 34-year-old Iranian man presented with a nodular patch of bulbar conjunctiva in the right eye, and 1+ vitritis. A nearly complete shallow serous retinal detachment, retinal folds, and multifocal yellow choroidal infiltrates were seen during a fundus examination of the right eye. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography revealed macular retinal folds and an uneven, undulating, "seasick" appearance of the choroidal surface with choriocapillaris compression, intraretinal and subretinal fluid, and clusters of optically dense material at the outer retinal level. An incisional biopsy of the conjunctival lesion confirmed the diagnosis of primary choroidal lymphoma with epibulbar involvement. The patient was treated with ultra-low-dose "boom-boom" radiation (4 Gy delivered in two fractions over two consecutive days) as well as intravitreal methotrexate and rituximab injections. After a year, the lesions had completely disappeared, with no adverse effects or recurrence. CONCLUSION: Ultra-low-dose (boom-boom) radiotherapy combined with intravitreal chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy may be an effective treatment for primary choroidal lymphoma with anterior epibulbar extension and diffuse subretinal fluid with favorable response and minimal side effects.

The Role of Early Vitrectomy in the Healing of Retinal Lesions in Progressive Outer Retinal Necrosis.

Purpose: To report on the efficacy of early pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), silicone oil (SO) tamponade, and intravitreal ganciclovir injection in the treatment of a case with progressive outer retinal necrosis (PORN). Case Presentation. A 33-year-old man with a history of shingles on the chest skin 2.5 months ago presented with progressive vision loss in both eyes over the past 20 days. Fundus examination revealed retinal necrosis with perivascular clearance. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection was confirmed by western blot analysis. Treatment with intravenous acyclovir and intravitreal ganciclovir injections was unable to stop the progression of retinitis. Along with highly active antiretroviral therapy, the patient underwent PPV with SO tamponade and intravitreal ganciclovir injection in both eyes. A few days after surgery, retinal lesions started to improve. Conclusion: Early PPV, SO tamponade, and intravitreal ganciclovir injection may be considered an effective intervention in PORN patients with an unfavorable response to medical treatment.

Clinical sign and symptom of primary vitreoretinal lymphoma short-time after retinal reattachment surgery: a case report.

PURPOSE: To describe a case of primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL), initially presented after successful repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). CASE PRESENTATION: A 65-year-old man underwent pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade for total RRD with grade C proliferative vitreoretinopathy in the right eye. Ten months after silicon oil removal, the patient presented with weakened vision, and multiple small yellow sub-retinal elevations was observed in fundus examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT). A cytopathologic examination of the vitreous showed lymphoid cell infiltration with nuclear atypia, which is strongly indicative of malignant lymphoma. Subretinal lesions continued with no noticeable improvement after 9 sessions of 400 microgram methotrexate therapy. CONCLUSION: We identified the presentation of PVRL in a vitrectomized eye and the response to treatment in this article.

Intravitreal bevacizumab to treat retinopathy of prematurity in 865 eyes: a study to determine predictors of primary treatment failure and recurrence.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the rate and risk factors for primary failure and recurrence after intravitreal anti-VEGF injection in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). METHODS: This retrospective study was performed on 865 eyes from 441 patients with retinopathy of prematurity receiving intravitreal bevacizumab from 2012 to 2019. Medical records of patients were evaluated. RESULTS: Mean gestational age (GA) and birth weight of patients were 28 ± 2 weeks and 1121 ± 312 g, respectively. Thirty-five eyes (4.04%) had a primary failure, including 18 eyes from 187 eyes in zone 1 (9.6%) and 17 eyes from 678 eyes in zone 2 (2.5%). The mean time of retreatment was 16.64 ± 13.68 days in eyes without regression ROP. The remaining 830 eyes (95.95%) were included in recurrence analysis. The recurrence occurred in 33 eyes (3.97%) of them in 20 patients, with the meantime of 77.52 days after the first treatment (IVB). The presence of plus disease, history of oxygen therapy or phototherapy, and GA less than 32 were associated with significantly increased prevalence of treatment failure. The risk factors predicting recurrence are lower birth weight, zone 1 pretreatment, history of intubation, anemia, and sepsis. CONCLUSION: Intravitreal anti-VEGF is a successful treatment for ROP with a low rate of primary failure and recurrence. Awareness of risk factors for treatment failure and recurrence may help clinicians to schedule more vigilant approach in susceptible cases.

Retinal Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Findings following Retinoblastoma Treatment by Chemotherapy.

Purpose: To investigate the macular microvascular changes after different kinds of chemotherapy in patients with extramacular retinoblastoma (RB). Methods: In this study, 28 eyes of 19 patients with bilateral RB treated with intravenous systemic chemotherapy (IVSC group) and 12 eyes of 12 patients with unilateral RB treated with intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC group) were compared with 6 normal fellow eyes of 6 patients with unilateral RB treated with IVSC (IVSC fellow eye group), and 7 normal fellow eyes of 7 unilateral RB patients treated with IAC (IAC fellow eye group), as well as 12 age-matched normal eyes. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography measurements of central macular and subfoveal choroidal thickness (CMT and SFCT) as well as optical coherence tomography angiography measurements such as retinal superficial capillary density (SCD), deep capillary density (DCD), and choriocapillaris density were documented. Results: Images of 2 eyes in the IVSC group and 8 eyes in the IAC group were excluded from the final image analysis due to severe retinal atrophy. Overall, 26 eyes with bilateral RB treated with IVSC and 4 eyes of 4 patients with unilateral RB treated with IAC were compared with the mentioned control groups. Best-corrected visual acuity was 1.03 logMAR in the IAC patients compared to 0.46 logMAR in the IVSC group at the time of imaging. While the CMT and SFCT were lower in the IAC group in comparison with the IAC fellow eye and normal groups (P < 0.05 for all), no remarkable difference was observed between the IVSC group and the control groups based on the mentioned parameters. Although the SCD showed no significant difference between the IVSC and control groups, this parameter was significantly lower in the eyes receiving IAC relative to the corresponding fellow eye group (P = 0.042) and normal control eyes (P = 0.047). The mean DCD was considerably lower in both the treatment groups compared to the control groups (P < 0.05 for all). Conclusion: Our study showed a substantial decrease in SCD, DCD, CMT, and choroidal thickness in the IAC group, which may explain the lower visual outcome in this group.
