Endothelial cell death is a hallmark of diabetic retinopathy. Its occurrence is required for the
formation of acellular (devitalized) capillaries, lesions that produce irreversible retinal …

Purpose.: To study the choroidal thickness in healthy subjects by swept-source optical
coherence tomography (SS-OCT) at longer wavelength. Methods.: The macular area of 31 …

The emergence of pachychoroid disease is changing the concept of age-related macular
degeneration (AMD). The concept of pachychoroid diseases was developed through clinical …

Purpose Although there have been many population-based studies of age-related macular
degeneration (AMD), only limited information is available in Asia on the epidemiology of …

Refractive errors, including myopia, are the most frequent eye disorders worldwide and an
increasingly common cause of blindness. This genome-wide association meta-analysis in …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between macular choroidal thickness measured
by high-penetrating swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and …

Previous clinical studies have suggested that pachychoroid can induce macular
neovascularization (MNV) to develop pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV) and that PNV …

Diabetic retinopathy remains a leading cause of irreversible blindness. A critical early
pathology in the disease is the adhesion of leukocytes to the retinal vasculature, a process …

PURPOSE: Leukocytes have been reported to be less deformable and more activated in
diabetes. It has also been suggested that they cause microvascular occlusions that may …

PURPOSE: To describe the incidence and clinical characteristics of polypoidal choroidal
vasculopathy (PCV) associated with choroidal vascular hyperpermeability. DESIGN …
