    Abstract Purpose: Investigate associations between geographic atrophy (GA) growth rate and multimodal imaging biomarkers and patient demographics in patients with advanced non-neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nnAMD).
    Design: Prospective cohort study.
    Methods: 121 eyes of 66 patients with advanced nnAMD with GA enrolled in the University of Colorado AMD Registry from August 2014 to June 2021, with follow-up through June 2023. Multimodal images were reviewed by two graders for imaging biomarkers at enrollment. GA growth rate and square-root transformed (SQRT) GA growth rate were measured between enrollment and final visit. Associations between the outcome SQRT GA growth rate and imaging biomarkers, baseline GA lesions characteristics, and patient demographics were evaluated.
    Results: Average GA growth rate was 1.430mm
    Conclusions: Select patient demographic factors and basic clinically-relevant imaging biomarkers were associated with GA growth rate. These biomarkers may guide patient selection when considering treating GA patients with novel therapeutics.

    Abstract Purpose: Chronic local inflammation underlies the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) causing damage to the neurosensory retina. However, there is minimal research on systemic cell-mediated inflammation in AMD. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is an immunoregulatory cytokine with an important role in modulating inflammation in chronic immune mediated disease. The purpose of this study was to: (1) investigate the role of systemic IL-4 in patients with intermediate AMD (iAMD) and in geographic atrophy (GA), an advanced form of AMD, compared to controls without AMD, and (2) determine if IL-4 levels are moderated by sex.
    Methods: We examined plasma levels of IL-4 in patients with iAMD, GA, and controls without AMD included in the University of Colorado AMD registry (August 2014 to June 2021). Cases and controls were defined by multimodal imaging. IL-4 was measured by multiplex immunoassay. Data were analyzed using a nonparametric rank based linear regression model fit to IL-4.
    Results: There were 199 patients with iAMD, 97 patients with GA, and 139 controls, with a percentage of female patients 61%, 55%, and 66%, respectively. We demonstrated significantly higher median IL-4 levels in GA (35.3; interquartile range [IQR] = 22.8-50.5) compared to iAMD (6.1; IQR = 2.2-11.3, P < 0.01) and controls (10.7; IQR = 5.0-16.8, P < 0.01). There were no significant differences in levels of IL-4 for cases and controls when stratified by sex.
    Conclusions: These findings demonstrate a systemic immunological difference between iAMD and GA, indicating IL-4 may be a systemic biomarker for GA development.
    Translational relevance: The plasma biomarker IL-4 is significantly elevated in patients with GA.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate the relationship between limited English proficiency (LEP) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients presenting for cataract surgery.
    Methods: This is a retrospective observational study of patients who underwent cataract surgery between January 2014 and February 2020. Patients who self-identified as needing or preferring an interpreter were defined as having LEP. Differences in demographics, characteristics, and outcomes including history of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), DR, preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), macular edema, and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections were analyzed. Statistical comparisons were assessed using logistic regression with generalized estimating equations.
    Results: We included 13,590 eyes. Of these, 868 (6.4%) were from LEP patients. Patients with LEP were more likely to be Hispanic (P < 0.001), female sex (P = 0.008), or older age (P = 0.003) and have worse mean BCVA at presentation (P < 0.001). Patients with LEP had a significantly higher rate of T2DM (P < 0.001), macular edema (P = 0.033), and DR (18.1% vs. 5.8%, P < 0.001). Findings remained significant when controlling for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and type of health insurance. Patients with LEP and DR were more likely to have had later stages of DR (P = 0.023).
    Conclusions: Patients with LEP presenting for cataract surgery had a higher rate of DR and associated complications compared to patients with English proficiency. Further studies are needed to understand how language disparities influence health and what measures could be taken to improve healthcare in this vulnerable population.
    Translational relevance: Our study highlights healthcare disparities within ophthalmology and emphasizes the importance of advocating for improved healthcare delivery for patients with LEP.

    Abstract Purpose: To compare the diagnostic ability of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) with indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). Methods: Retrospective review of 47 eyes with PCV imaged with ICGA and OCTA. For each eye, it was determined which imaging modality better delineated the PCV complex. The presence of a branching vascular network (BVN) and polyp(s) were noted. Results: PCV was better visualized with ICGA in 21 eyes (44.7%) and with OCTA in 9 eyes (19.2%). The results were comparable in 17 eyes (36.2%). Of the 44 eyes with BVN on ICGA, 41 eyes (93.2%) also showed BVN on OCTA. Of the 28 eyes with polyp(s) on ICGA, 22 eyes (78.6%) also showed polyp(s) on OCTA. Polyps were high-flow lesions or faint low-flow dilations on OCTA. Conclusion: OCTA readily detects BVNs and can detect most polyps, but in many cases ICGA is better able to detect the PCV complex.

    Abstract Objectives: To determine if commercial OCTA measurements can provide quantitative biomarkers for detection of radiation retinopathy (RR) s/p I-125 plaque brachytherapy in patients with uveal melanoma.
    Methods: Retrospective review of 6 × 6 mm OCTA images of nonirradiated fellow eyes (group 1, 28 eyes), eyes without RR (group 2, 22 eyes), eyes with RR (group 3, 13 eyes). We used automated AngioVue AngioAnalytics OCTA software determinations of FAZ size, perimeter size, and 27 capillary density measurements (nine regions of each segmentation: full-thickness retina, superficial plexus, deep plexus).
    Results: Average time since irradiation was 1.9 years in group 2, and 3.7 years in group 3. FAZ size was 1.2 mm in group 3 compared with 0.2 mm in group 1 and 0.3 mm in group 2 (both p < 0.001). Capillary density was statistically significantly reduced in group 3 compared with group 1 in all 27 regions. Group 2 had significantly decreased superficial plexus capillary density compared with group 1 in three regions. Group 3 had significantly reduced capillary density compared with group 2 in 6/27 (22%) regions. Linear regression showed a change in whole-scan density of -1.5 per year after irradiation in the full-thickness retina segmentation (p = 0.008).
    Conclusion: Quantitative OCTA may aid in early detection of RR.

    Abstract Purpose: To describe four cases of varix of the vortex vein ampulla imaged with dynamic echography.
    Methods: Observational case series of four patients with varix of the vortex vein ampulla diagnosed with ocular examination maneuvers such as digital pressure or Valsalva. Dynamic echography was used to confirm the diagnosis.
    Results: Dynamic echography can quickly and noninvasively show the varix of the vortex vein ampulla disappear with external pressure, or engorge with a Valsalva maneuver or altered gaze directions.
    Conclusion: Dynamic echography is very helpful in the establishment of the diagnosis of varix of the vortex vein ampulla and differentiating this benign condition from other retinal or choroidal abnormalities.

    Abstract Purpose: To characterize the vascular structure of Type 3 neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration using optical coherence tomography angiography.
    Methods: Optical coherence tomography angiography cube scans (3 mm × 3 mm) were acquired in 29 eyes of 24 patients with Type 3 lesions secondary to age-related macular degeneration using the RTVue XR Avanti with AngioVue, Split-spectrum amplitude-decorrelation, and motion correction technology. Automated layer segmentation boundaries were adjusted to best visualize the neovascular complex on en face projection images.
    Results: A distinct neovascular complex could be identified in 10 (34%) eyes, all of which were active on optical coherence tomography imaging. In all 10 eyes, the neovascular complex appeared as a small tuft of bright, high-flow tiny vessels with curvilinear morphology located in the outer retinal layers with a feeder vessel communicating with the inner retinal circulation (i.e., deep retinal capillary plexus). The mean (SD) size of the neovascular complex measured 0.07 (± 0.07) mm.
    Conclusion: With optical coherence tomography angiography, it is possible to identify small intraretinal neovascular complexes communicating with the deep retinal capillary plexus in eyes with Type 3 neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of Type 3 neovascular complexes can be performed using optical coherence tomography angiography.
