Choroid, Congenital hypertrophy of the pigment epithelium, Optical coherence tomography
Congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE) on ocular coherence tomography (OCT) has the characteristic sign of RPE thickening and hyper reflectivity. However, the underlying choroid characteristics remain under researched. This retrospective study utilised data from an ophthalmic oncology...

Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
In this study the authors aimed to evaluate choroidal changes in the hyperopic anisometropic eyes of children by comparing amblyopic and fellow eyes, and control eyes, using a binarization method – analysis of enhanced depth imaging with OCT (EDI-OCT) using...

Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
The authors studied choroidal thickness in 38 paediatric cases (76 eyes) with unilateral amblyopia to evaluate the differences between amblyopic and fellow eyes, and compare them with 19 healthy control subjects (38 eyes). Anisometropic amblyopia was present in 17 cases...

Active aspiration, butterfly needle, extrusion mode, suprachoroidal hemorrhage
The authors describe a novel surgical technique for external drainage of choroidal detachment / suprachoroidal haemorrhage with a butterfly needle. Six eyes with serous and / or haemorrhagic choroidal detachments (five from complicated cataract surgery with vitreous loss, one globe...
Comparison of SS-OCT and SD-OCT in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy

Retina / Uvea / Vitreous
Swept source OCT (SS-OCT) is known to have a longer wavelength than spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT), allowing deeper penetration into retinal and choroidal layers. The aim of this study was to investigate whether SS-OCT is superior to SD-OCT in imaging...

Large case series, choroidal detachment, prognostic factors, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, vitrectomy
Hypotony, posterior retinal breaks, longer axial lengths and total retinal detachments (RD) are risk factors for development of RD associated with choroidal detachment (RRDCD). This study retrospectively analysed the anatomic outcomes and prognostic factors of vitrectomy in 175 patients with...
