Ohjae Kim_SCIENTIFIC POSTER 2015_1 Purpose: To determine subfoveal choroidal thickness and central retinal thickness using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and to evaluate association between both thickness and age, gender and axial length. Methods: Spectral domain OCT images (Bioptigen, Bioptigen, inc., Durham, NC) were obtained in 151 eyes of 151 healthy volunteers without retinal diseases. The IOL master (Carl Zeiss Meditech) was used...

Oh Jae Kim_SCIENTIFIC POSTER 2015 Purpose: To compare the six-month clinical results of ranibizumab with aflibercept for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet-AMD). Methods: Medical records of 44 eyes of 44 patients who underwent intravitreal ranibizumab (0.5mg / 0.05ml) or aflibercept (2.0mg / 0.05ml) injection for wet-AMD with more than 6 months of follow-up were reviewed retrospectively. All patients were treated...

SCIENTIFIC POSTER_Joo Yeon Kim Purpose: To report the characteristics and surgical outcomes of macular holes (MHs) that develop after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) repair. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed in patients who developed a full-thickness macular hole after RD repair between May 2010 to July 2013. The eyes underwent MH repair with pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling and gas...

Poster Tae Gon Lee Purpose: To compare the clinical results of pattern scan laser (PASCAL) versus conventional panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) for the management of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Methods: Retrospective review of the medical records was performed on 379 consecutive eyes with newly diagnosed PDR that underwent PRP using either PASCAL (160 eyes treated between June 2008 and April 2011) or conventional laser (219...

Poster Young-suk Chang Purpose: To investigate the optimal duration of postoperative prone positioning after macular hole (MH) surgery by the comparison of the anatomical success rate. Methods: The clinical records were reviewed of all patients treated at Kim’s eye hospital between February 1, 2006 and February 28, 201 3, for an idiopathic macular hole. Coexisting ocular disease such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vessel...

Advantages: The authors had reported the phenomenon of foveal tissue elongation and its impact on metamorphopsia after macular hole (MH) surgery. Through this following study, we would like to present the clinical implications of notching sign in the parafoveal tissue after MH surgery. Methods: This study involved 35 eyes from 35 patients who underwent surgery for MH. Notching of tissue was defined as an abrupt alteration in the inner...
