    Abstract Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive neuro-retinal disease and the leading cause of central vision loss among elderly individuals in the developed countries. Modern ocular imaging technologies constitute an essential component of the evaluation of these patients and have contributed extensively to our understanding of the disease. A challenge with any review of ocular imaging technologies is the rapid pace of progress and evolution of these instruments. Nonetheless, for proper and optimal use of these technologies, it is essential for the user to understand the technical principles underlying the imaging modality and their role in assessing the disease in various settings. Indeed, AMD, like many other retinal diseases, benefits from a multimodal imaging approach to optimally characterize the disease. In this chapter, we will review the various imaging technologies currently used in the assessment and management of AMD.

    Abstract Kyrieleis plaques (KP) represent a peculiar type of vasculitis affecting retinal arterial branches in a beaded segmental pattern that can be found in several posterior inflammatory ocular conditions. The nature and precise location of KP is unclear. Adaptive Optics (AO) provides an in vivo visualization of retinal vasculature on a microscopic level, thus permitting a more detailed characterization of KP as compared to traditional imaging techniques. This study aims to report AO imaging of KP in Varicella Zoster virus (VZV)-associated posterior uveitis and to correlate the findings with traditional imaging techniques. Three patients diagnosed with VZV posterior uveitis underwent adaptive optics (AO) imaging and traditional multimodal imaging techniques, including fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography and optical coherence tomography. In all subjects, AO imaging revealed segmental hyporeflectivity confined to the vessel wall, with no evidence of arterial wall disruption or extravascular involvement. In our series, AO findings support the view that KP are localized within the inner arterial wall, possibly at the endothelial level.

    Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the outcomes of delayed intravitreal injections (IVIs) caused by the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
    Methods: nAMD patients with scheduled IVIs between March 1
    Results: Two hundred fifteen patients (132 females, mean age: 81.89 ± 5.98 years) delayed their scheduled IVI while 83 (53 females, mean age: 77.92 ± 6.06 years) adhered to their protocol. For both groups, BCVA at v
    Conclusions: A risk-based selection strategy and a rescue therapy may limit the long-term outcomes of an interruption of the treatment protocol in patients with nAMD.

    Abstract Purpose of review: The current review will discuss the pathophysiology, work-up and clinical relevance of the ocular phenotype in Williams-Beuren syndrome in detail.
    Recent findings: Few case reports, case series and retrospective studies reported the ophthalmic features in Williams-Beuren syndrome, focusing on specific aspects of the ocular involvement. Recently, novel retinal findings have been described in association with the disease.
    Summary: Numerous ocular features have been described in Williams-Beuren syndrome. Some of them, such as the stellate pattern of the iris or the retinal arteriolar tortuosity may be helpful for the diagnosis but have no significant clinical implications; others, such as strabismus and refractive errors require early treatment to reduce the risk of irreversible visual impairment. Finally, some features, such as a broad foveal pit and thinner retina still have unknown significance and require further longitudinal and multimodal studies.

    Abstract Background: To compare 24-month real-world outcomes of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) inhibitors for Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV) and type 1 Macular Neovascularization (MNV) in a Caucasian population.
    Methods: Retrospective analysis from a prospectively designed observational database. Data from Italian centres participating in the Fight Retinal Blindness! (FRB!) project were collected. Treatment-naïve PCV or type 1 MNV commencing treatment after January 2009 were included. The primary outcome was 24-month visual acuity (VA) change; other outcomes included baseline characteristics, number of anti-VEGF injections, time to lesion inactivation and proportion of active visits.
    Results: A total of 322 eyes (114 PCVs) from 291 patients were included. Median [Q1, Q3] VA at baseline was comparable (70 [55, 75.8] vs. 70 [58.8, 75] letters, p = 0.95). Adjusted VA change at 2 years was higher in PCV (mean [95% CI], +1.2 [-1.6, 4.1] vs. -3.6 [-6, -1.2] letters, p = 0.005). PCV received fewer anti-VEGF injections over the first 24 months of treatment than type 1 MNV (median [Q1, Q3], 8 [5, 10] vs. 9 [7, 12.2] injections, p = 0.001), inactivated earlier (median [Q1, Q3], 235 [184, 308] vs. 252 [169, 343] days, p = 0.04) and was less frequently graded 'active' (62% vs. 68% of visits, p = 0.001).
    Conclusions: PCV had slightly better VA outcomes over 24 months of treatment than type 1 MNV after receiving less anti-VEGF injections. These results suggest a possible overlap of the two clinical entities with similar visual prognosis in Caucasians.

    Abstract Objectives: To investigate clinical features associated with lack of response to MTX in juvenile idiopathic arthritis associated uveitis (JIA-U).
    Methods: Clinical records of JIA-U patients were retrospectively reviewed. Differences among variables were assessed by Mann-Whitney and χ 2 or Fisher's exact tests as appropriate. Association between predictors and requirement of a biological disease modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD) was evaluated by univariate Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier curves. A multivariable logistic model was applied to estimate strength of association, adjusting for potential confounders.
    Results: Data from 99 JIA-U patients treated with MTX were analysed (82.8% female), with a mean follow up of 9.2 years and a mean age at uveitis onset of 5.7 years. In 65 patients (65.7%) at least one bDMARD to control uveitis was required. Children requiring a bDMARD for uveitis had lower age at JIA and uveitis onset, more frequent polyarticular course, higher frequency of bilateral uveitis at onset and higher prevalence of systemic steroids' use. Despite similar frequency of ocular damage at onset, MTX non responders showed a higher percentage of ocular damage at last visit. Younger age at JIA onset, polyarticular course and a history of systemic steroids' use resulted independent factors associated to lack of response to MTX at Cox regression analysis. Kaplan-Meier curves and the multivariate model confirms the independent role of both polyarticular course and systemic steroids' use.
    Conclusions: Younger age at JIA onset, polyarticular course and a history of systemic steroids' use are predictors of a worse response to MTX in JIA-U.

    Abstract Purpose: Intraretinal hyper-reflective foci (IHRF) are optical coherence tomography (OCT) risk factors for progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In this study we assess the change in the number and distribution of IHRF over two years.
    Methods: The axial distribution of IHRF were quantified in eyes with intermediate AMD (iAMD) at baseline and 24 months, using a series of 5 sequential equidistant en face OCT retinal slabs generated between the outer border of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) and the inner border of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Following thresholding and binarization, IHRF were quantified in each retinal slab using ImageJ. The change in IHRF number in each slab between baseline and month 24 was calculated.
    Results: Fifty-two eyes showed evidence of IHRF at baseline, and all continued to show evidence of IHRF at 24 months (M24). The total average IHRF count/eye increased significantly from 4.67 ± 0.63 at baseline to 11.62 ± 13.86 at M24 (
    Conclusions: IHRF are most common in the outer retinal layers and tend to increase in number over time. The impact of the distribution and frequency of these IHRF on the overall progression of AMD requires further study.
