EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
Wet (exudative or neovascular) age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterised by choroidal neovascularisation, in which new blood vessels from the choroid invade through Bruch’s membrane. These blood vessels proliferate beneath or through the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), causing patients to...

Amblyopia, foveal avascular zone, macular vascular density, optical coherence tomography angiography
This study aimed to evaluate the macular parameters including foveal avascular zone (FAV) size and vessel density in amblyopia vs fellow eyes. The study included 23 unilateral amblyopia children (9.86 ±3.12 years; 52.2% female) and non-amblyopia control eyes (8.67 ±2.06...
New grading description for ROP retinal changes for those meeting termination of vision screening guidelines
This study reports and characterises residual retinal changes seen in eyes that meet criteria for termination of acute retinal screening exams. A novel grading system was used in which retinal exams were graded A to E. ‘A’ was defined as...
