The Contemporary Role of Photodynamic Therapy in the Treatment of Pachychoroid Diseases
Recent advances in retinal imaging technology have improved our understanding in the pathogenesis and evolvement of various chorioretinal diseases. Central serous chorioretinopathy and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy are now recognized to belong to the same spectrum of disorders known as pachychoroid diseases.

Applications of Multimodal Imaging in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy Evaluation
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a macular disease characterized by serous retinal detachment commonly involving the macular region. CSCR has a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. Although a significant proportion of CSCR cases are self‐limiting, patients can suffer from persistent or recurrent disease, sometimes complicated with ...

OCT Biomarkers in Neovascular Age‐Related Macular Degeneration: A Narrative Review
Age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of legal blindness in elderly people. Neovascular AMD (nAMD) is responsible for the majority of cases of severe visual loss in eyes with AMD. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the most widely used technology for the diagnosis and follow‐up of nAMD patients, which is widely used to study ...

Intravitreal aflibercept and ranibizumab for pachychoroid neovasculopathy. [PDF]
AbstractThis retrospective study was to compare the efficacy of intravitreal injection of ranibizumab and aflibercept for patients with pachychoroid neovasculopathy. 54 eyes were initially treated with 3 monthly loading injections of ranibizumab or aflibercept. Treatment switching from ranibizumab to aflibercept, and aflibercept to photodynamic therapy

Treatment and Characteristics of Pachychoroid Neovasculopathy Accompanying Recalcitrant Intraretinal Cysts. [PDF]
To evaluate the clinical characteristics associated with chronic pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV) accompanying recalcitrant intraretinal cysts.This is a retrospective, single-center, case-series study involving 20 eyes of 18 patients with PNV who did not respond to bevacizumab or ranibizumab and had to switch to aflibercept.

Remodeling of macular vortex veins in pachychoroid neovasculopathy. [PDF]
AbstractSuperior and inferior macular vortex veins are divided by a horizontal watershed passing through the macula. We evaluated macular vortex vein remodeling in eyes with pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV). Thirty eyes of 30 patients with treatment-naïve PNV and 30 normal eyes of 30 age-, gender-, and refraction-matched subjects were studied.
