Contrast-to-noise ratio is a useful predictor of early displacement of large submacular hemorrhage by intravitreal sf6 gas injection
Conclusion:
Findings of the present study showed that the CNR of SMH was a useful predictor of early displacement of large SMH after simple intravitreal SF6 gas injection. When vitrectomy with subretinal injection of tissue plasminogen activator is difficult in patients with large SMH, with low CNR on optical coherence tomography, simple intravitreal SF6 gas injection may be a treatment option.

SUBRETINAL TRANSIENT HYPOREFLECTIVITY IN AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION: A Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Study
Conclusion:
Subretinal transient hyporeflectivity is a novel SD-OCT sign in patients with AMD. The eyes with isolated STHR should be closely monitored on a monthly basis to detect further exudation. (Source: RETINA)

TREATMENT DEFERRAL DURING COVID-19 LOCKDOWN: Functional and Anatomical Impact on Patients With Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Conclusion:
An “injection-only” approach was effective in managing patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration during the pandemic lockdown, whereas patients who deferred their scheduled treatment showed partially irreversible deterioration of visual function. We recommend treatment continuation in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration during a lockdown. (Source: RETINA)

Posterior segment ocular findings in critically ill patients with covid-19
Conclusion:
More than one-third of patients with severe COVID-19 had ophthalmological manifestations. The most frequent fundoscopic findings were optic nerve inflammation, microvasculature occlusion, and major vascular occlusions. We recommend long-term follow-up to prevent permanent ocular sequelae.

INTERNATIONAL IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC LOCKDOWN ON INTRAVITREAL THERAPY OUTCOMES: Fight Retinal Blindness Registry
Conclusion:
This international study provides estimates of the impact of COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on intravitreal therapy and suggests that prioritizing neovascular age-related macular degeneration eyes seems appropriate. (Source: RETINA)

Regional population mobility and outpatient retina visits in the united states during the covid-19 pandemic
Purpose:
To characterize how community mobility patterns across the United States correlate with local changes in retina visits during the pandemic.
Methods:
Outpatient retina clinic visits were linked to population mobility by combining multiple public data sets, including the Google Community Mobility Reports and data from the Centers for Disease Control and Infection. Percentage change from baseline in daily-average number of retina visits by county and mobility were measured by county.
Results:
A total of 2,159,689 patient visits were examined across 332 counties. Daily-average retina visits decreased...

IMPACT OF FLUID COMPARTMENTS ON FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS WITH NEOVASCULAR AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION: A Systematic Literature Review
Conclusion:
To optimally manage neovascular age-related macular degeneration, clinicians should understand the impact of fluid compartments on visual acuity. After initial treatment, antivascular endothelial growth factor regimens that tolerate stable subretinal fluid (if visual acuity is stable/improved) but not intraretinal fluid may enable patients to achieve their best possible visual acuity. Confirmatory studies are required to validate these findings. (Source: RETINA)
