Two-Port Vitrectomy-free Subretinal Gene Therapy for Bietti Crystalline Dystrophy
Jun 10, 2026
The authors aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of a modified two-port, vitrectomy-free subretinal injection technique for gene therapy in patients with Bietti crystalline dystrophy. The study found that the procedure was completed without complications, with a significant proportion of patients experiencing improved visual acuity over a follow-up period of up to two years, suggesting that this approach may be a promising alternative to traditional methods. However, the authors note that further comparative studies with longer follow-up are needed to confirm these preliminary findings.
Long-Term Outcomes of Two-port Non-vitrectomy Endolaser Therapy in Moderate-to-severe Stage 3A Coats Disease
Jun 9, 2026
The authors aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of two-port non-vitrectomy endolaser therapy (TPNVE) in patients with moderate-to-severe stage 3A Coats disease. The study found that TPNVE achieved anatomic success in all treated eyes, with a median of two treatment sessions required, and highlighted the occurrence of complications such as cataracts and vitreoretinal fibrosis. Notably, approximately half of the eyes with an extent of exudative retinal detachment of at least 4 clock hours achieved success after a single treatment session.
Ethnic Differences in the Presentation Patterns of Type 3 Macular Neovascularization
Jun 9, 2026
The authors aimed to investigate ethnic differences in the presentation patterns of Type 3 macular neovascularization (T3 MNV) associated with age-related macular degeneration in Caucasian and Asian populations. Their findings revealed that Asian patients presented at a younger age with T3 MNV lesions located closer to the foveal center compared to Caucasians, while also showing a lower prevalence of reticular pseudodrusen. These results indicate both shared and distinct characteristics in T3 MNV presentation across ethnicities, suggesting variations in contributing factors.
