The Wilmer Retinal Vascular Center9s experience with central serous chorioretinopathy
from 1970 to the end of 1979 was reviewed and compared with previous studies.
Retrospective analysis of 73 patients seen at follow-up suggests no clinically significant …

PURPOSE: To describe fundus autofluorescence (AF) patterns and their change over time in
patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and high risk of visual loss
participating in the drusen laser study (DLS). DESIGN: Randomized clinical trial. METHODS …

Of 89 patients with idiopathic preretinal gliosis examined between 1970 and 1978, 52 were
examined within six months of the onset of symptoms. Forty-seven patients were men and
42 were women; 83 (93%) were more than 50 years old. Initial visual acuities were 6/12 …

• We determined the visual prognosis of 94 eyes in 92 patients having (1) agerelated
macular degeneration,(2) a discrete choroidal neovascular membrane directly under the
center of the foveal avascular zone (subfoveal), and (3) an initial visual acuity of 20/100 or …

Purpose To investigate the role of systemic corticosteroids in the treatment of sight-
threatening choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in patients with punctate inner
choroidopathy (PIC) and multifocal inner choroiditis (MIC). Methods Twelve eyes of 10 …

We found hemorrhages in 13 eyes of 57 patients with optic disk drusen. In seven eyes, the
hemorrhages originated in peripapillary choroidal neovascular membranes. In the other six
eyes, no neovascular membrane was present. Hemorrhages that occurred in the absence of …

Objective To determine whether teletherapy with 6-mV photons can reduce visual loss in
patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration.
Design A multicenter, single-masked, randomized controlled trial of 12 Gy of external beam …

Macular detachment caused by choroidal neovascularization in eyes with previous
toxoplasmic infections is one possible explanation of sudden loss of visual acuity. Three
patients with quiescent chorioretinal scars, presumed to be toxoplasmic in origin, developed …

Genomic investigations in animals have begun to reveal the metabolic and physiological
functions of genes and protein products. However, a thorough understanding of the genomic
roadmaps will require investigative approaches that yield qualitative and quantitative …

A brief survey of the recent ophthalmic literatureunderscores a resurgence of interest in
indocyanine green angio-graphy (ICGA). This imaging method may be particularly useful for
the ophthalmologist, as it provides at least a theoretical advantage for improved imaging of …
