TL;DR: The data suggests long-term preservation of vascular basement membrane in ischemic retina in patients suffering from retinal vascular occlusions, which has implications for therapeutic approaches aiming to alleviate retinal ischemia via the regeneration of damaged vessels.

TL;DR: VA measurements with the MAC chart appear to be more sensitive to functional loss in AMD compared with conventional letter charts, with similar TRV, Simulations indicate this may be because the high-pass filtered letters are more vulnerable to undersampling as a result of retinal cell loss in the disease process.

TL;DR: Surgical excision of non-AMD-related CNV resulted in improvement of VA in the majority of eyes, and worse presenting acuity was associated with better visual improvements, while no evidence of association between 2-year visual outcome and any other baseline factor under study was observed.

TL;DR: Although a change criterion of six or more letters may be an adequate end point in clinical trials for patients with early AMD, a larger change criterion may be necessary for clinical trials of patients with late AMD.

TL;DR: Spectral domain-optical coherence tomography features of retinal neovascularization in proliferative diabetic retinopathy and thus to identify novel signs of new vessel activity were described and the presence of vitreous hyperreflective dots, epiretinal membrane, inner retinal tissue contracture, Vitreous invasion, and vitreOUS protrusion were identified as distinct signs of disease activity.
