Immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery: Prevalence, attitudes and concerns Among Italian ophthalmologists.

PURPOSE: to investigate the existing practice patterns of immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) in Italy and to assess ophthalmologists' attitudes towards performing ISBCS in the future for cataract treatment. METHODS: It is a multicenter cross-sectional study. From February,1st 2023 to March, 1st 2023 the Members of the Italian Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (AICCER) as well as the attendees of its annual national congress were invited to anonymously complete an electronic 7-item questionnaire on their current ICBCS practice. Questions included the average number of procedures per month, the main indications for ICBCS, and the main reasons for performing and not performing ISBCS. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. RESULTS: of the 2300 recipients, 246 (10.7%) completed the survey. Of the respondents, 156 (63.4%) replied to perform ISBCS, most of them (82%) occasionally (1 to 5 procedures per month). Fifty-three percent (130 ophthalmologists) considered adopting ISBCS as routine practice in the near future. The conditions most considered for ISBCS were age-related cataract surgery under general and topical anesthesia and congenital cataract surgery. The availability of separate instruments for the two eyes as well as patient and hospital advantages were the most important reasons for performing ISBCS. The risk of bilateral endophthalmitis and medicolegal issues were the main reasons for not performing ISBCS. CONCLUSIONS: ISBCS remains controversial among Italian surgeons, despite growing evidence of its safety and efficacy. The risk of potentially blinding complications such as bilateral endophthalmitis, together with medicolegal concerns are the principal barriers to ISBCS implementation in routine practice.

Long-term outcomes of canaloplasty and phaco-canaloplasty in the treatment of open angle glaucoma: a single-surgeon experience.

PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the long-term outcomes of canaloplasty and phaco-canaloplasty in the treatment of open angle glaucoma and assess the prognostic factors associated with surgical outcome. METHODS: A 48-month retrospective analysis was performed on n = 133 open angle glaucoma eyes treated with canaloplasty and n = 57 open angle glaucoma eyes treated with phaco-canaloplasty by a single surgeon. Surgical success was defined according to six criteria, achieving a target intraocular pressure (IOP) ≤ 21, 18 or 15 mmHg on glaucoma medications (qualified success) or without any further treatment (complete success), including laser therapy or surgery. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression analysis were performed to evaluate surgical success and preoperative factors associated with surgical outcome. Surgical complications in the early postoperative period were compared between canaloplasty and phaco-canaloplasty. RESULTS: Canaloplasty and phaco-canaloplasty significantly reduced postoperative IOP and number of glaucoma medications (p = 0.001 for both). Phaco-canaloplasty showed higher rates of cumulative surgical success over canaloplasty, but only for target IOP ≤ 21 and ≤ 18 (p = 0.018 and p = 0.011, respectively). A preoperative number of > 4 glaucoma medications predicted surgical failure. Phaco-canaloplasty was associated with a higher rate of IOP peaks in the first month compared with canaloplasty (40.4% vs 12.7%, p = 0.000). CONCLUSION: Canaloplasty and phaco-canaloplasty demonstrated long-term efficacy in the treatment of open angle glaucoma, with phaco-canaloplasty showing higher rates of surgical success compared to canaloplasty, but not for target IOPs lower than 16 mmHg. Patients on more than 4 preoperative glaucoma medications may not be good candidates for canaloplasty and may benefit from other surgical options.

Worsening of early DME after cataract surgery. The DICAT II Study report #2.

PURPOSE: To analyse the long anatomical and functional outcome of a subgroup of the DICAT II study cohort, consisting of 26 patients undergoing cataract surgery and withdrawn from the study for a clinically significant worsening of early diabetic macular edema (DME). MATERIALS: Patients who underwent cataract surgery and withdrawn from the DICAT II study for a clinically significant worsening of early DME with at least 12 months follow-up after the dropout. The study population was divided into two groups according to the clinical evaluation at one-year follow-up: ongoing treatment patients for DME (Treatment group, TG) and patients no longer treated (Non Treatment group, NTG). RESULTS: Central foveal thickness (CFT) at baseline and dropout time were higher in TG than in the NTG, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). In addition, TG patients reported a higher levels of glycated hemoglobin at time baseline compared to NTG patients (7.81 ± 1.15 vs 7.02 ± 0.56; p = 0.048). The linear regression analysis demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between the visual acuity and the ongoing treatment group at one-year follow-up (p = 0.042). CONCLUSION: The study provides parameters to be considered when assessing the risk of developing persistent DME after cataract surgery in diabetic patients. In particular, CFT at baseline and dropout time have been reported to be an effective and predictable OCT biomarkers when evaluating DME progression. During the evaluation of the systemic disease, similar results were found for the glycated hemoglobin at baseline.

Capecitabine-Related Fourth Nerve Palsy: A Case Report.

Introduction: Capecitabine has rarely been associated with neurotoxicity. Cerebellar ataxia, multifocal leukoencephalopathy, and sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy have been reported in the literature. A case of 6th nerve palsy associated with capecitabine has also been described. This article reports the first case of capecitabine-related 4th nerve palsy. Case Presentation: A 72-year-old Caucasian woman was referred by the Oncology Department because she had been complaining of binocular diplopia for 6 months. The symptoms started 1 month after the introduction of capecitabine. A diagnosis of right 4th nerve palsy was made using the Parks three-step test and the Hess test. Neuroimaging analysis was negative. A slow but progressive deterioration of function was confirmed during a year of follow-up. On suspicion of a chemotherapy-related palsy, capecitabine was discontinued and switched to vinorelbine. Subsequent improvement of the clinical picture was confirmed within 2 months. Conclusion: The recognition of chemotherapy-related neurotoxicity is of paramount importance in the management of oncology patients. Once secondary invasion of the brain or the orbit by the tumor itself is ruled out, it must be suspected to prevent further deterioration.

Phacoemulsification Wound Burn and Its Management.

Introduction: The production of ultrasonic energy during phacoemulsification is associated with heat generation that could damage ocular tissues, particularly at the corneoscleral wound site. Case Presentation: This study presents an 89-year-old patient with senile hypermature cataract and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy developing severe thermal corneoscleral injury during phacoemulsification. At presentation, visual acuity was finger count at 40 cm and there was a 1 × 2-mm area of corneal melting at the corneal tunnel with diffuse corneal oedema. After 1 month, a temporal circular corneal patch graft was applied to the corneal burn. A penetrating keratoplasty was performed 16 months after the first surgery. Conclusion: Corneal surgery, including lamellar patch grafts and full-thickness penetrating grafts, could be used, when necessary, to restore the cornea's integrity. These procedures could eliminate corneal scarring, decrease astigmatism, and improve vision in patients with phacoemulsification burns.

Systematic review for the development of a core outcome set for monofocal intraocular lenses for cataract surgery.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to define a core outcome set (COS) to be measured following cataract surgery for the postoperative evaluation of monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). Compared to current COSs, the present work provides updates considering the advances in the technology due to the development of new generation monofocal IOLs, which are characterized by a safety profile comparable to standard monofocal IOLs but with an extended range of intermediate vision. Methods: Healthcare professionals (ophthalmologist surgeons) and patients were involved in the selection of outcomes to be included in the COS, starting from a list of indicators retrieved from a systematic literature search. The search considered observational studies with both a retrospective or prospective design, case studies and classic randomized controlled trials (RCTs). A mixed methodology integrating a Delphi-driven and an expert panel approach was adopted to reach an agreement among clinicians, while patients were involved in the completion of a questionnaire. Results: The final COS included 15 outcomes. Eleven outcomes, all clinical, were considered for inclusion after a joint discussion among ophthalmologists; seven outcomes were linked to visual acuity, while the remaining to contrast sensitivity, refractive errors, aberrations and adverse events. Measurement metrics, method of aggregation and measurement time point of these outcomes were specified. The most important aspects for the patients were (1) quality of life after cataract surgery, (2) the capacity to perform activities requiring good near vision (e.g., reading), (3) spectacle independence, and (4) safety of movements without fear of getting hurt or falling (intermediate vision). Discussion: In a context with limited healthcare resources, it is important to optimize their use considering also the preferences of end-users, namely patients. The proposed COS, developed involving both ophthalmologists and patients, provides an instrument for the postoperative evaluation of different technologies in the context of monofocal IOLs, which can be used not only in clinical trials but also in clinical practice to increase the body of real-world evidence.

Long-term functional outcome between Yamane technique and retropupillary iris-claw technique in a large study cohort.

PURPOSE: To evaluate which secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation technique was more successful in achieving the best postoperative results and refractive outcomes between retropupillary iris-claw IOL (ICIOL) and flanged intrascleral IOL (FIIOL) fixation with the Yamane technique. SETTING: Eye Clinic of the University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy. DESIGN: Retrospective observational study. METHODS: 116 eyes of 110 patients who underwent ICIOL or FIIOL were analyzed. Patients with follow-up shorter than 6 months or with incomplete clinical data were excluded. Collected data included demographics, ocular comorbidity, indication of surgery, intraocular pressure, early (≤1 month) and late (>1 month) postoperative complications, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and manifest refraction at the last follow-up visit. RESULTS: 50% (n = 58) of eyes underwent FIIOL and 50% (n = 58) ICIOL implantation for aphakia (n = 44, 38%) and IOL dislocation (n = 72, 62%). No statistically significant differences in demographics, comorbidity, follow-up duration, postoperative complications, and surgical indications were found. The refractive prediction error (RPE) was 0.69 ± 0.94 diopter (D) in the FIIOL group and 0.21 ± 0.75 D in the ICIOL group ( P = .03), indicating residual hyperopia after both techniques. RPE, mean absolute error, and median absolute error were higher in the FIIOL group ( P = .003). ICIOL implantation was more successful in obtaining a RPE between -0.50 D and +0.50 D (52% of ICIOL, n = 30, and 31% of FIIOL, n = 18). CONCLUSIONS: Both techniques were effective in increasing preoperative CDVA with no statistical difference between them. Although complication rates did not significantly differ, the FIIOL group exhibited less predictable refractive outcomes. Adjusting the dioptric power of the 3-piece IOL, as performed in ciliary sulcus implantation, to prevent myopic shift, is not recommended.

Visual outcomes and patient satisfaction after bilateral implantation of an enhanced monofocal intraocular lens: a single-masked prospective randomized study.

PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the visual outcomes of an enhanced monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) with two different monofocal IOLs. SETTING: Eye Clinic, Department of Medicine, Surgery and Health Sciences, University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy. DESIGN: Prospective, single-center, single-masked, randomized controlled clinical study. METHODS: The study included patients undergoing phacoemulsification and IOL implantation. Patients were consecutively randomized by block randomization and assigned in a 1:1:1 allocation ratio to three study arms to bilaterally receive Tecnis Eyhance™ (model ICB00) or Tecnis® monofocal 1-piece (model PCB00) or Clareon® monofocal (model CNA0T0), respectively. Monocular and binocular (both corrected and uncorrected) visual acuities for far, intermediate and near were registered and compared among groups at 3 months. To track changes in patient quality of life, the Catquest-9SF questionnaire was administered to each patient before and after cataract extraction. RESULTS: Ninety patients (30 for each group) were enrolled. At 3 months follow-up, statistically significant differences for intermediate visual acuities were found between the three groups. Nonstatistically significant differences were observed for distance visual acuities and the changes in Catquest-9SF scores. CONCLUSION: Tecnis Eyhance™ provided better results in intermediate visual outcomes without adverse effects on patients' quality of life.

Hitting the refractive target in corneal endothelial transplantation triple procedures: A systematic review.

In phakic patients Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) or Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) are frequently combined with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation (triple procedure). This surgery might cause a refractive shift difficult to predict. Early DMEK and DSAEK results have shown a tendency toward a hyperopic shift. Myopic postoperative refraction is typically intended to correct this postoperative refractive defect and to bring all eyes as close to emmetropia as possible. We sought to understand the mechanism underlying the hyperopization and to identify predictive factors for poorer refractive outcomes, the most suitable target refraction and IOL calculation methods in patients undergoing combined cataract extraction and lamellar endothelial corneal transplantation (DSAEK or DMEK) for endothelial dysfunctions. Of the 407 articles analyzed, only 18 were included in the analysis. A myopic target between -0.50 D and -0.75 was the most common (up to -1.50 for DSAEK triple procedures), even though no optimum target was found. Hyperopic surprises appeared more frequently in corneas that were flatter in the center than in the periphery (oblate posterior profile). Among the numerous IOL calculation formulas, there was no apparent preference.

Oral tranexamic acid for acute management of active bleeding from iris microhemangiomatosis: A case report.

Purpose: to report a case of active intraocular bleeding caused by iris microhemangiomatosis managed with oral tranexamic acid. Observations: an 80-year-old male was referred to our emergency department for acute intraocular bleeding. Eye exam showed filiform bleeding arising from a cluster of vascular tufts at the upper pupillary margin, which was consistent with a diagnosis of iris microhemangiomatosis. The bleeding had started 6 hours before and could not be halted by conservative maneuvers such as ocular compression and application of sympathomimetic drops. Oral tranexamic acid 500 mg was administered and led to prompt resolution of the hemorrhage within 60 minutes. The patient was monitored for 3 months and showed no recurrence of the hemorrhage. Conclusion and importance: oral tranexamic acid may represent a viable option to manage active intraocular bleeding from iris microhemangiomatosis, facilitating rapid hemorrhage resolution.

Functional and anatomical outcomes of brolucizumab for nAMD in a real-life setting.

To report long-term outcomes of brolucizumab in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) treatment. Records from 74 patients were retrospectively reviewed. Both naïve eyes and those previously treated with other antiVEGF agents were included. Primary outcomes included variation in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central subfield thickness (CST), intraretinal fluid (IRF), subretinal fluid (SRF), and pigment epithelial detachment (PED) dimensions. Outcomes were reviewed after the loading phase, at week 24, and at last follow-up. IOI occurrence represented the secondary outcome. BCVA improved significantly in both groups. In switched eyes, IRF and SRF were significantly reduced at every timepoint, with CST reduction from week 24 (p = 0.005). In naïve group, CST decreased from the loading phase (p = 0.006) and all patients showed dry macula from week 24. A significant reduction in PED maximum high was demonstrated in both groups. In seven naïve eyes, PED completely reabsorbed; a slight increase in PED horizontal maximal diameter was also observed from week 24. IOI occurred in 5.4% of cases. In conclusion, brolucizumab showed a strong drying effect, permitting functional improvement together with fluid reabsorption and an encouraging modification of PED dimension, especially on naïve patients. These results together with the extension of treatment intervals make brolucizumab an efficient therapeutic strategy for nAMD.

Corneal epithelial changes in a patient treated with belantamab mafodotin.

The aim of the study is to report a case of corneal epithelial changes in a patient with refractory multiple myeloma (MM) who was treated with belantamab mafodotin (BM). A 55-year-old man diagnosed with refractory MM was referred to our hospital for treatment with BM, an antibody-drug conjugate targeting B-cell maturation antigen. After 33 days of treatment, the patient experienced a bilateral reduction in visual acuity (VA), along with dry eye symptoms such as itchy eyes and a sensation of having a foreign body. Slit-lamp examination revealed the presence of diffuse microcystic epithelial changes throughout the cornea. BM treatment was discontinued by the oncologist. Sixty days after stopping belantamab, VA gradually improved and the microcystic epithelial alterations progressively diminished. Ninety days after discontinuation of therapy, only a few microcystic epithelial alterations remained, and the patient had 20/20 VA in both eyes. While BM is an effective therapy for refractory MM, corneal epithelial changes are among the most common side effects of this treatment. Close collaboration between ophthalmologists and oncologists is crucial for assessing ocular adverse effects and tailoring treatment accordingly.

Expert consensus on the management of patients undergoing cataract surgery: A Delphi study.

PURPOSE: To define the management of patients undergoing cataract surgery. SETTING: Panel of experts on cataract surgery and members of the Italian Association of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (AICCER) participated in the Delphi study. DESIGN: A restricted panel of experts defined the statements concerning the topic and identified a larger panel of experts who voted the statements. The statements concerned a series of practical issues concerning the management of patients undergoing cataract surgery. METHODS: An initial web round-table served to develop the statements. The larger panel was constituted by 15 experts which anonymously voted the statements, presented in a web platform, using a 5- point Likert scale. Consensus was defined as at least 80% of agreement. RESULTS: All participants completed the questionnaire. Globally, the total percentage of agreement of all statements was 90.4%. The total mean score was 4.5. Score 4 and score 5 accounted for the 27% and the 68% of the total votes, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The participants felt they could largely agree with and approve the statements proposed by the board. In addition, the Delphi study identified some points that are highly shared and endorsed. In particular, a new model approach can be based on a seven-day course using a fixed high-potency corticosteroid combination with a broad-spectrum antibiotic. At the end of this cycle, the patient should be re-evaluated in some way to continue any treatment in the most appropriate and personalized way possible.

Bilateral Implantation of Multifocal Intraocular Lenses: 10-Year Follow-Up.

PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the long-term results after bilateral implantation of different multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs). METHODS: This retrospective comparative study included 42 patients who underwent cataract surgery with bilateral MIOL implantation. Patients were divided into 5 groups: Group 1 received a refractive ReZoom NGX1 IOL (AMO), Group 2 a diffractive Acrysof ReSTOR SA60D3 IOL (Alcon), and Group 3 a diffractive Tecnis ZM900 IOL (AMO). Group 4 and Group 5 were implanted using the mix and match approach with refractive ReZoom-diffractive ReSTOR IOL and refractive ReZoom-diffractive Tecnis ZM900 IOL, respectively. Primary outcome measures were distance, near, and intermediate distance visual acuity measured 6 months (T0) and 10 years (T1) after surgery. Secondary outcomes were defocus curves, contrast sensitivity, patients' satisfaction, and spectacle independence. RESULTS: All patients achieved best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) greater than 0.11 logMAR and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) greater than 0.14 logMAR at both time points. A decrease in contrast sensitivity was evident, particularly at high spatial frequencies; at T1, Group 4 reported statistically higher values than Group 2 at 12 cycles/degree and 18 cycles/degree and statistically higher values than Group 3 at 18 cycles/degree. Great overall satisfaction was reported even in the presence of dysphotopsia. Tecnis ZM900 IOL showed the lowest incidence of posterior capsular opacification. CONCLUSION: MIOLs could provide adequate functional vision and patient satisfaction, despite the incidence of side effects, in carefully selected patients desiring spectacle independence.

Changes in Anterior Segment Morphology and Intraocular Pressure after Cataract Surgery in Non-glaucomatous Eyes.

BACKGROUND: It is known that cataract extraction is associated with a significant reduction in intraocular pressure, especially in narrow angled eyes; however, the modifications of anterior segment parameters associated with this phenomenon have still not been completely defined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in anterior segment anatomy and intraocular pressure after cataract surgery in non-glaucomatous eyes. METHODS AND MATERIAL: This retrospective case series study included 64 eyes of 64 consecutive patients who underwent phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. Anterior segment parameters and intraocular pressure were assessed and compared before and 6 months after surgery. Anterior segment imaging was performed using Casia SS-1000 anterior segment optical coherence tomography (Tomey, Nagoya, Japan). Anterior segment measurements included anterior chamber depth, anterior chamber width, anterior chamber volume, angle opening distance at 500 µm anterior to the scleral spur, angle recess area 750 µm from the scleral spur, lens vault, trabecular iris space area at 500 µm from the scleral spur, and trabecular iris angle at 500 µm from the scleral spur. Intraocular pressure was measured using the Goldmann applanation tonometer (Model AT 900 C/M, Haag-Streit, Bern, Switzerland). Anterior segment parameters and the relationship of changes in intraocular pressure were also evaluated. RESULTS: All anterior segment parameters increased significantly after surgery (p < 0.05). Both angle opening distance at 500 µm anterior to the scleral spur and anterior chamber depth changes were positively correlated with the preoperative lens vault. The mean intraocular pressure significantly decreased from 14.91 mmHg (± 2.8 SD) to 12.91 mmHg (± 3.13 SD) (p < 0.001). Changes in intraocular pressure correlated negatively with values for the width of the preoperative anterior chamber (r = - 0.533; p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Cataract surgery led to significant widening of the anterior chamber angle and lowering of intraocular pressure. Further investigations are needed to better understand whether anterior chamber width may be a new independent predictive factor for reduction in postoperative intraocular pressure.

Management of patients undergoing cataract surgery: An Italian survey.

PURPOSE: To investigate the management of patients undergoing cataract surgery in Italy. SETTING: Italian ocular surgeons, members of the Italian Association of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (AICCER), were invited to participate to this survey. DESIGN: Participants had to respond to a questionary including a series of practical questions concerning the management of patients undergoing cataract surgery. METHODS: A designed questionnaire explored the main issues concerning the practical problems involved in managing patients undergoing cataract surgery. The questionnaire was sent by e-mail and analyzed by descriptive statistics. RESULTS: Preoperative prophylaxis was performed by most surgeons. After surgery, several products were used, even simultaneously. Fixed antibiotic-corticosteroid combination (87.2%; 89) and NSAIDs (88.2; 90) were chosen as the most commonly used drug classes. The average duration of prescribed post-surgical therapies was more than two weeks for 52.9% (54) of participants, two weeks for 29.4% (30), and only one week for 5.9% (6). CONCLUSION: This survey confirmed a discrete adherence to the main guidelines but at the same time highlights a discrete inhomogeneity in the use of medications, duration of treatments, and follow-up visits. For this reason, it is appropriate to continue updating and implementing the guidelines and educational pathways. This thought is consistent with the Precision Medicine approach. Every patient should be carefully evaluated to determine the best medication, dosage, and duration. A Personalized Medicine strategy is used on a single patient to optimize treatment clinical efficacy while minimizing side effects.

How Could Medical and Surgical Treatment Affect the Quality of Life in Glaucoma Patients? A Cross-Sectional Study.

BACKGROUND: To evaluate and compare the visual function and the quality of life (QoL) in glaucomatous patients treated with topical medical therapy (TMT) alone, canaloplasty (CP), or trabeculectomy (TB). METHODS: A total of 291 eyes of 167 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or secondary pseudoexfoliative glaucoma in TMT or surgically treated with CP or TB were included. Eligibility criteria for surgical patients included not needing TMT after surgery. Each patient underwent a visual field assessment and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) optical coherence tomography and filled out the Glaucoma Symptoms Scale (GSS) questionnaire and the 25-Item National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire (25-NEI-VFQ). Comparison between the QoL level of the three groups and its correlation with optic nerve's anatomical and functional status was the primary outcome. RESULTS: CP patients reported the best general vision (p = 0.01), a lower incidence of eye burning (p = 0.03), and the lowest annoyance level of non-visual symptoms (p = 0.006). QoL positively correlated with pRNFL thickness, whereas no correlation was found with visual field damage. CONCLUSION: CP provides a better QoL when compared both to TB and TMT, regardless of glaucoma stage. pRNFL seems to provide additional information for predicting change in QoL.

Reproducibility and Reliability of Spectralis II OCT Angiography Vascular Measurements.

Purpose: to investigate the reproducibility and reliability of OCT-A vascular measurements using Heidelberg Spectralis II OCT-A. Methods: a prospective study involving a single eye of patients aged 18 or older with no ocular disease. In order to investigate the reliability of the first and second OCT-A scans, the coefficient of variation of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and the vessel density (VD) in the superficial (SCP), intermediate (ICP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP) were calculated. Results: A total of 75 eyes were included in the study. The mean FAZ in the first and second scan was 0.36 × 0.13 mm2 and 0.37 × 0.12 mm2, respectively, in the SCP, 0.23 × 0.10 mm2 and 0.23 × 0.09 mm2 in the ICP, and 0.42 × 0.11 mm2 and 0.43 × 0.12 mm2 in the DCP. The overall VD was 36.05 × 9.01 and 35.33 × 9.92 at the first and second scan, respectively, in the SCP, 21.87 × 5.00 and 21.32 × 5.56 in the ICP, and 23.84 × 6.53 and 23.20 × 6.83 in the DCP. No statistically significant differences in FAZ measurements and VD in all sectors of each capillary plexus were observed between the first and second scan (p > 0.05). Conclusion: our study demonstrated the good reproducibility and reliability of OCT-A vascular measurements in the analysis of the FAZ and the quantification of VD in each capillary plexus of the retina.
