Peripheral retinal findings in populations with macular disease are similar to healthy eyes

Abstract: Purpose: Recent evidence suggests several macular diseases are associated with peripheral retinal changes. This study investigated the number, type and management consequences of peripheral retinal findings detected in patients attending a referral only, eye-care clinic, the Centre for Eye Health(CFEH) with macular disease. Methods: Records of 537 patients attending CFEH for a macular assessment were included in the study. Subjects were classified as having age-related macular degeneration (AMD), epiretinal me… Show more

“…If there was a disagreement, a third clinician (ophthalmologist) was consulted. Consistent with our previous studies,2830 a subset of cases used in the study were re-reviewed independently by an ophthalmologist to confirm accuracy of the original diagnosis listed in the record. Any records where patients had a refractive error greater than ± 5 diopters were excluded to minimize image magnification error, which may impact OCTA measurements 31,32.…”

“…Non-contact Daytona UWF fundus imaging system in this study provides 200° range of retinal imaging, and brings great convenience for ophthalmic clinic. A large number of studies have been conducted on the observation of peripheral retinal conditions of fundus diseases through UWF laser scanning ophthalmoscopy [8] , aiming to reduce the burden of ophthalmic outpatient service by combining with optical coherence tomography for virtual retinal outpatient service [9] . With UWF fundus imaging, we confirmed that the most common HIV-related fundus changes were HIV-related MVR, followed by CMVR, which met the results of another group's study [3,10] .…”

“…The peripheral retinal vascular abnormalities are novel findings in HIV/AIDS patients. Like our awareness of the peripheral microvascular lesions in diabetic retinopathy through UWF fundus imaging [13][14] , further studies are needed to understand the significance and possible long-term consequences of these findings.…”

“…Visual acuity was measured using the LogMAR chart on the AT-20R Medmont Mate (Medmont International Pty Ltd, Vermont, Victoria, Australia). As part of our standardised macular assessment protocol 17 , participants were asked to indicate whether they experienced symptoms of metamorphopsia when performing activities of daily living. The specific questions pertaining to the present study were: (1) "do you experience any distortions or visual disturbances when doing near-based tasks like reading, looking at your mobile phone or in food preparation?…”
