In branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), fluorescein angiography (FA) is used to detect areas of retinal non-perfusion, indicating ischemia. Laser photocoagulation is often employed to treat these ischemic areas, preventing neovascularization and further complications. This targeted treatment reduces the risk of vision loss and stabilizes retinal function.

Proliferative sickle cell retinopathy (PSCR) is characterized by several distinct retinal features. Sea-fan neovascularization represents abnormal new blood vessel growth in the peripheral retina. Peripheral ischemia, caused by occluded blood vessels, leads to areas of retinal non-perfusion. Black-sunburst lesions are hyperpigmented areas resulting from previous hemorrhages and pigment migration. These findings are crucial for diagnosing and managing PSCR, often requiring interventions like laser photocoagulation to prevent further complications.

Sickle cell retinopathy is characterized by several distinct features: sea fan neovascularization, black sunburst lesions, and capillary occlusion. Sea fan neovascularization appears as peripheral neovascular tufts, while black sunbursts are areas of retinal pigment migration due to previous hemorrhages. Capillary occlusion leads to ischemic areas. Laser photocoagulation treatment is used to manage neovascularization and prevent further complications.

Telangiectatic capillaries (TelCap) can contribute to persistent diabetic macular edema (DME). En-face imaging helps identify these abnormal capillaries, highlighting their distribution and extent. Focal laser photocoagulation is used to target and seal these TelCaps, reducing edema and improving retinal health.

Ischemic hemispheric retinal vein occlusion (HRVO) is a severe form of retinal vein occlusion affecting half of the retina, leading to significant ischemia and potential vision loss.
Diagnosis and Imaging:
Blue channel imaging enhances the visualization of retinal vasculature and ischemic areas, providing a clear assessment of retinal non-perfusion and hemorrhages. This imaging is crucial in identifying the extent of ischemia and guiding treatment decisions.Treatment with Laser Photocoagulation:
Laser photocoagulation is commonly used to treat ischemic HRVO. The laser targets ischemic retinal areas, reducing the risk of neovascularization and further vision loss.#retina #oftalmo #ophthalmology #oftalmologia #oftalmología #ophtalmologie #офтальмологія #офтальмология #οφθαλμολογία #retinography2024 #CIRRUS6000 #CLARUS700 #ZEISSRETINAWORKFLOW

Lattice degeneration is a condition characterized by thinning and weakening of the peripheral retina, predisposing individuals to retinal tears and detachment. When retinal detachment occurs in one eye, the fellow eye is at increased risk due to similar degenerative changes. Regular monitoring and timely intervention are crucial to prevent detachment and preserve vision in both eyes.
