Long-term visual outcome of pigment epithelial tears in association with anti-VEGF therapy of pigment epithelial detachment in AMD
PurposeRetinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tears may develop as a complication after anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) treatment for pigment epithelial detachments (PEDs) in exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This retrospective study analyses best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and foveal involvement after RPE tears that are associated with anti-VEGF therapy due to PED in exudative AMD.MethodsA total of 37 patients with RPE tears during anti-VEGF therapy ...

Prevalence of Age-Related Macular Degeneration in Europe
PURPOSE: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a frequent, complex disorder in elderly of European ancestry. Risk profiles and treatment options have changed considerably over the years, which may have affected disease prevalence and outcome. We determined the prevalence of early and late AMD in Europe from 1990 to 2013 using the European Eye Epidemiology (E3) consortium, and made projections for the future.
DESIGN: Meta-analysis of prevalence data.
PARTICIPANTS: A total of 42 080 ...

Smoking and age related macular degeneration: the number of pack years of cigarette smoking is a major determinant of risk for both geographic atrophy and choroidal neovascularisation
BACKGROUND/AIMS: There is evidence that smoking is a risk factor for age related macular degeneration (AMD). However, not all studies have demonstrated this association and several key questions about the role of smoking in AMD have still to be determined. The aim of this study was to further investigate this relation for both choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) and geographic atrophy (GA).
METHODS: To investigate the relation between smoking and the risk of developing age related macular ...

Incomplete Retinal Pigment Epithelial and Outer Retinal Atrophy in Age-Related Macular Degeneration Classification of Atrophy Meeting Report 4
PURPOSE: To describe the defining features of incomplete retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and outer retinal atrophy (iRORA), a consensus term referring to the OCT-based anatomic changes often identified before the development of complete RPE and outer retinal atrophy (cRORA) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We provide descriptive OCT and histologic examples of disease progression.
DESIGN: Consensus meeting.
PARTICIPANTS: Panel of retina specialists, including retinal imaging ...

Fruits and vegetables that are sources for lutein and zeaxanthin: the macular pigment in human eyes
BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that eating green leafy vegetables, which are rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, may decrease the risk for age related macular degeneration. The goal of this study was to analyse various fruits and vegetables to establish which ones contain lutein and/or zeaxanthin and can serve as possible dietary supplements for these carotenoids.
METHODS: Homogenates of 33 fruits and vegetables, two fruit juices, and egg yolk were used for extraction of the carotenoids ...

Consensus Definition for Atrophy Associated with Age-Related Macular Degeneration on OCT Classification of Atrophy Report 3
PURPOSE: To develop consensus terminology and criteria for defining atrophy based on OCT findings in the setting of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
PARTICIPANTS: Panel of retina specialists, image reading center experts, retinal histologists, and optics engineers.
METHODS: As part of the Classification of Atrophy Meetings (CAM) program, an international group of experts surveyed the existing literature, performed a masked analysis of longitudinal ...

Autofluorescence Characteristics of Early, Atrophic, and High-Risk Fellow Eyes in Age-Related Macular Degeneration
PURPOSE: To assess the relationships of drusen, pigment, and focally increased autofluorescence (FIAF) and the reticular pattern of hypoautofluorescence, to distinguish the combined photographic and AF characteristics of early, atrophic, and high-risk fellow eyes in AMD.
METHODS: In a retrospective interinstitutional clinical study, AF and color photograph pairs of 221 eyes were examined: 166 eyes of 83 patients with bilateral large, soft drusen, with and without geographic atrophy (GA), ...

Mutations in the RP1 Gene Causing Autosomal Dominant Retinitis Pigmentosa
Retinitis pigmentosa is a genetically heterogeneous form of retinal degeneration that affects approximately 1 in 3500 people worldwide. Recently we identified the gene responsible for the RP1 form of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) at 8q11-12 and found two different nonsense mutations in three families previously mapped to 8q. The RP1 gene is an unusually large protein, 2156 amino acids in length, but is comprised of four exons only. To determine the frequency and range of ...

Accumulation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 in human eyes with Sorsby's fundus dystrophy or retinitis pigmentosa
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP-3) is normally synthesised by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and deposited in Bruch's membrane. Mutations in the TIMP3 gene cause Sorsby's fundus dystrophy (SFD), which is characterised by thickening of Bruch's membrane, choroidal neovascularisation, and photoreceptor degeneration. To elucidate the role of TIMP-3 in human retinal degenerative diseases, we immunolocalised TIMP-3 in eyes with SFD caused by the ...

A Mutation in Guanylate Cyclase Activator 1A (GUCA1A) in an Autosomal Dominant Cone Dystrophy Pedigree Mapping to a New Locus on Chromosome 6p21.1
We report a mutation (Y99C) in guanylate cyclase activator 1A (GUCA1A), the gene for guanylate cyclase activating protein (GCAP1), in a family with autosomal dominant cone dystrophy. Linkage analysis excluded all the known cone and cone-rod dystrophy loci, except the chromosome 6p21.1 region. This is known to contain the RDS gene, which is associated with dominant cone-rod dystrophy. Screening of the RDS gene by heteroduplex analysis and direct sequencing failed to demonstrate sequence ...

Macular Dystrophy Associated with Mutations at Codon 172 in the Human Retinal Degeneration Slow Gene
BACKGROUND: Recently, mutations in the retinal degeneration slow (rds) gene which codes for peripherin-rds have been implicated as a cause of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa. Because this gene is expressed in both rods and cones, mutations in the rds gene might be expected to cause degeneration affecting either the scotopic or photopic systems. Mutations at codon 172 of the rds gene have been identified in three families with autosomal dominantly inherited, progressive macular ...

Photopic and Scotopic Fine Matrix Mapping of Retinal Areas of Increased Fundus Autofluorescence in Patients with Age-Related Maculopathy
PURPOSE: To investigate photopic and scotopic sensitivity of retinal areas that show increased fundus autofluorescence (FAF) in patients with age-related maculopathy (ARM).
METHODS: FAF was imaged with a modified confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (cSLO). Fine matrix mapping (FMM) was performed with a modified field analyzer. Photopic and scotopic thresholds were obtained at 100 locations on a 9 degrees x 9 degrees matrix with 1 degrees spacing, centered on a macular area of ...
