Persistent serous retinal detachment (SRD) is a common complication of tilted disc syndrome (TDS). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of subthreshold laser photocoagulation for SRD associated with TDS. This retrospective, single-center study included 5 eyes of 5 patients with TDS-associated SRD treated by subthreshold laser treatment. SRD was completely absorbed in 4 eyes within 4 months after initial treatment. However, it recurred in 2 eyes; one required additional laser treatment and one showed spontaneous resolution. Eventually, all 4 eyes showed complete SRD resorption. The mean visual acuities at enrollment and 1 and 3 months showed no significant differences. The mean central macular thickness showed a significant decrease at 3 months. Two eyes showed changes in fundus autofluorescence findings at the laser ablation site. However, there were no instances of laser scotoma and no laser-induced retinal scarring on color fundus photography performed at the end of treatment. In conclusion, subthreshold laser photocoagulation is an effective treatment for SRD associated with TDS. Thus, the clinical indications of subthreshold laser photocoagulation may be extended to SRD in patients with TDS.

AbstractThere is a lack of treatment aimed at the regression of reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The aim of this prospective, pilot study is to evaluate the safety and short-term efficacy of subthreshold laser treatment (SLT) in patients affected by RPD secondary to dry AMD (dAMD). Twenty eyes of 20 patients (mean age 78.4 ± 6.8 years) with RPD secondary to dAMD were prospectively enrolled. All patients were treated in an extrafoveal area of 1.27 mm2 using end-point management yellow subthreshold laser and followed for 3 months. Best-corrected visual acuity was 0.140 ± 0.09 LogMAR at the baseline and no changes were observed during the follow-up (p = 0.232). No significant worsening was disclosed before and after the treatment analyzing the macular sensitivity of the treated area (p = 0.152). No topical and/or systemic side effects were disclosed during the 3-month follow-up. The distribution among the RPD stages changed after the treatment (p < 0.001). In detail, in the treated area, we observed a significant increase in the number of Stage 1 RPD during the follow-up (p = 0.002), associated with a significant decrease of Stage 3 RPD (p = 0.020). Outer nuclear layer (ONL) thickness analysis showed a significant increase after the treatment associated with RPD regression (p = 0.001). End-point management SLT appears a safe treatment for RPD secondary to dAMD, showing short-term safety outcomes. Our results suggest that SLT could be effective in inducing a RPD regression in terms of RPD stage and ONL thickening.

A 66-years-old Vietnamese healthy female patient presented with prolonged severe right ocular pain and complete vision loss in that eye. Anterior segment assessment including gonioscopy identified angle-closure configuration. A suspected ciliary body melanoma was seen through the pupil. Posterior segment examination revealed a large tumor mass and 360° retinal detachment (kissing configuration). An ultrasound examination was consistent with a uveal tumor. The painful, blind right eye with a tumor mass was enucleated. Histopathology confirmed a type A uveal spindle cell melanoma associated with total serous retinal detachment without evidence of tumor necrosis, epithelioid cells, scleral, or optic nerve infiltration. There was no evidence of metastasis after 1-year of follow-up. It is critically important to differentiate primary and secondary angle closure, especially in cases with life-threatening ocular malignancy as uveal melanoma.
