Purpose. To describe the characteristics of idiopathic macular holes (MH) on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and correlate OCT with clinical assessment.Design. Cross-sectional chart review and OCT assessment.Participants. Sixty-seven eyes with a clinically diagnosed idiopathic MH with available OCT data.Methods. A retrospective chart review and OCT assessment.Results. Based on OCT grading, 40 eyes had a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) and 21 eyes had a lamellar macular hole (LMH). Clinical exam and OCT assessment agreed in 53 (87%) eyes when assessing the extent of MH. Six eyes (14.6%) in the FTMH group, and 3 eyes in the LMH group (14.3%) had persistent vitreomacular traction. Thirty-seven eyes (92.5%) in the FTMH group and 11 eyes (52.4%) in the LMH group had associated intraretinal cysts. Two eyes (5.0%) in the FTMH group and zero eyes in the LMH group had subretinal fluid. Intraretinal cysts were found to be more frequently associated with FTMH than with LMH (P<0.001).Conclusion. This paper described OCT findings in a group of patients with clinically diagnosed MH. A high level of correlation between clinical assessment and OCT findings of LMH and FTMH was observed, and intraretinal cysts were often present in FTMH.

Purpose. To evaluate the role of microperimetry and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the morphofunctional analysis of the retina after surgical treatment of idiopathic macular holes (IMH). Materials and methods. A retrospective study of 33 patient's treatment results (33 eyes) with IMH was carried out. All patients underwent minimally invasive with 25G or 27G vitrectomy. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), macular photosensitivity, fixation stability, macular neuroepithelial (NE) volume and minimal macular hole diameter were analyzed. Follow-up period: 6 months. Results. A complete closure of the macular hole was achieved in all cases post-op. The patients had reliable improvement of BCVA, retinal photosensitivity and decrease of macular NE volume. Based on a multifactor correlation analysis with the purpose to predict the results of surgical treatment, the dependence of post-op BCVA on the pre-op photosensitivity of the retina and the minimal diameter of the macular hole was revealed. Conclusions. Microperimetry and OCT are modern non-invasive research methods allowing to estimate anatomical and functional results of surgical IMH treatment. The study of retinal photosensitivity in the macula and minimal macular hole diameter pre-op allows to predict post-op BCVA, which has a practical importance. Keywords: idiopathic macular hole, vitrectomy, microperimetry, optical coherence tomography.

Purpose. To study the clinicodemographic profile of dome-shaped maculopathy (DSM) eyes in the Indian population and characterization using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Methods. This observational cross-sectional study included 25 eyes of 14 patients diagnosed with DSM. All eyes underwent SD-OCT for characterization of the dome profile and also to measure central macular thickness (CMT), subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), and dome height (DH) and to detect the presence of subretinal fluid (SRF). Results. The mean age of patients was 48.36 ± 14.23 years (range, 28–65 years). Eleven patients had bilateral involvement. Mean axial length of all eyes was 24.25 ± 1.95 mm and mean spherical equivalent −4.23 ± 3.79 DS. Overall, 11/25 eyes (44%) had round domes, 9/25 eyes (36%) had horizontal domes, and 5/25 eyes (20%) had vertical domes, with a mean dome height at fovea of 500.54 ± 291.58 µm. Vertical domes had higher DH compared to horizontal or combined domes p = 0.02 . Six eyes (6/25, 24%) showed the presence of SRF; 60% of vertical domes had SRF, and 22.2% of horizontal domes had SRF. The eyes having SRF had significantly higher CMT p = 0.017 and DH p = 0.001 , especially in horizontal domes p = 0.023 . The eyes with thicker SFCT tended to have higher DH and poorer visual acuity. Conclusion. Indian DSM eyes may have relatively lesser amounts of myopia. Choroidal thickening may play a role in development of DSM and may also be related to development of subretinal fluid in such eyes.

The aim of the present study was to examine the potential of machine learning for identification of isolated neurosensory retina detachment and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) alterations as diagnostic criteria of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Material and methods. Patients with acute CSC in whom a standard ophthalmic examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT) using RTVue-XR Avanti (Angio Retina HD scan protocol, 6 6 mm) was performed were included in the study. 10-m en face slab above the RPE layer was used to create ground truth masks. Learning aims were defined as identification of 3 classes of structural abnormalities on OCT cross-sectional scans: class 1 subretinal fluid, class 2 RPE abnormalities, and class 3 leakage points. Data for each of the 3 classes included: 4800/1400 training/test images for class 1, 2000/802 training/test images for class 2, and 1504/408 training/test images for class 3. Unet-similar architecture was used for segmentation of abnormalities on OCT cross-sectional scans. Results. Analysis of test sets revealed sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1-score for detection of subretinal fluid of 0.61, 0.99, 0.99, and 0.76, respectively. For detection of RPE abnormalities sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1-score were 0.14, 0.95, 0.94 and 0.24, respectively. For detection of leakage point sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1-score were 0.06, 1.0, 1.0, and 0.12, respectively. Conclusions. Thus, machine learning demonstrated high potential in the OCT-based identification of structural abnormalities associated with acute CSC (neurosensory retina detachment and RPE alterations). Topical identification of the leakage point appears to be possible using large learning sets.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the utility of novel macular hole indices of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and predicting the functional outcome of surgery. Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of 28 eyes who underwent surgery for idiopathic Full Thickness Macular Hole (FTMH) at The Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH), Karachi from January 2016 to March 2020. Data of preoperative OCTs were recovered from data server of OCT machine. Measurements of the pre-operative OCTs were calculated using caliper function of OCT software by two independent technicians. Parameters included Macular Hole Index (MHI), Traction Hole Index (THI), Hole Form Factor (HFF) and Diameter Hole Index (DHI) were recorded. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the performance of DHI, THI, HFF and MHI for improved BCVA after surgery, by looking at sensitivity, specificity and area under curve (AUC). P-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Out of 30 eyes, final data analysis was done for 28 eyes. Mean age was 61.5 ± 6.2 years. Mean pre-operative and 6 months post-operative LogMAR best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.84 ± 0.23 and 0.32 ± 0.30 (p-value <0.001). Area under the curve with 95% confidence interval estimated for DHI, THI, HFF, and MHI was [0.750 (0.559 to 0.889)], [0.827 (0.637 to 0.943)], [0.846 (0.660 to 0.954)], [0.827 (0.637 to 0.943)]. Cut off values for predicting good functional outcome (post-op BCVA equal or better that 0.4) for DHI, THI, HFF and MHI were 0.454, 1.086, 0.856 and 0.501 respectively. All ROC value of less than 0.5 were considered unlikely to predict functional outcomes with macular hole indices. Conclusion: Novel macular hole indices can be used as a tool to predict the functional outcomes of macular hole surgery. Larger studies may be required to assess their wider effectiveness. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.5.4126 How to cite this:Tayyab H, Siddiqui R, Jahangir S, Hashmi S.
