The records of all patients undergoing prophylactic panmacular SDM for high-risk age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and inherited photoreceptor degenerations (IRDs) examined by pattern electroretinography (PERG), automated microperimetry (AMP), and Central Vision Analyzer (CVA) testing before and after treatment were reviewed. A total of 158 consecutive eyes of 108 patients with AMD and 10 consecutive eyes of 8 patients with IRDs, evaluated both before and after SDM by PERG, were eligible for study. The IRD diagnoses included rod-cone degeneration (four eyes), cone-rod degeneration (three eyes), and Stargardt's disease (three eyes). In AMD, AMP was performed in 40 consecutive eyes, and CVA in the subsequent 73 consecutive eyes concurrent with PERG. The SDM treatment consisted of 1800 to 3000 confluent s...

Patients should be encouraged to seek immediate ophthalmologic evaluation if they have blurring, visual field defects (blind spots), or multiple floating spots before one or both eyes. With accurate diagnosis and aggressive therapy, many AIDS-related retinal infections can be controlled. Therapies continue to evolve as new drugs become available and effective treatment regimens are identified. GARY N.

Monochromatic (820-nm infrared and 488-nm red-free) scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) documented central retinal concentric ring patterns resembling the patient's drawings of her dysphotopsia, prompting investigation of the relationship of these phenomena. Similar SLO findings were present in four eyes of three additional ReSTOR pseudophakes without dysphotopsia, but absent in monofocal pseudophakes or phakic individuals. Optical analysis shows that concentric ring SLO imaging artifacts can be caused by coherent reflection of monochromatic laser radiation off the diffractive optical element on the IOL's anterior surface, whereas concentric ring dysphotopsias are due to diffraction or projection of broad spectrum light sources in ordinary environments. Thus, the IOL's diffractive optics is the origin of both concentric ring dysphotopsia and SLO artifacts, but diffraction or projection causes the visual phenomenon, whereas coherent reflection produces the imaging anomaly.

The records of all patients treated with transfoveal subthreshold diode micropulse laser for fovea-involving diabetic macular edema in two retina clinics were reviewed. The eligibility included fovea-involving diabetic macular edema by spectral domain optical coherence tomography and pretreatment visual acuity of 20/40 or better. Thirty-nine eyes of 27 patients aged 50 years to 87 years (mean, 69 years) were included. Postoperative follow-up ranged from 3 months to 36 months (mean, 11 months). Fourteen patients were insulin dependent, and 19 had nonproliferative retinopathy. The preoperative visual acuity was 20/20 (10 eyes), 20/25 (10 eyes), 20/30 (8 eyes), and 20/40 (11 eyes). No eye had evidence of laser-induced macular damage by any imaging means postoperatively. There were no adverse treatment effects. Logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution visual acuity ...
