NCT03287648

Brief Summary

Some alterations of the foveal contour do not meet the criteria established for the definition of lamellar macular hole on the basis of optical coherence tomography (OCT). However, these alterations may show an appearance, on blue fundus autofluorescence (B-FAF) imaging, reminiscent of lamellar macular hole. The aim of the study is to evaluate in detail these alterations recording simultaneously OCT and B-FAF.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Relationship between OCT and B-FAF findings

    Measurements of the diameters of the holes expressed in microns, on OCT and B-FAF images respectively, will be collected. The topographic correlation between the area of increased B-FAF signal and the corresponding area on OCT, will be examined.

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Relationship between OCT and B-FAF characteristics and logMAR visual acuity

    6 months

Interventions

Simultaneous infra-red and optical coherence tomography (cube and radial pattern) centered on the fovea Simultaneous fundus autofluorescence and optical coherence tomography (radial pattern) centered on the fovea

Also known as: infra-red, color pictures

Study Population

outpatients affected by alteration of the foveal contour associated with increased autofluorescence signal at the fovea

You may qualify if:

  • alteration of the foveal contour not classifiable as lamellar or pseudo macular hole
  • focal, well-defined increased autofluorescence signal at the fovea

You may not qualify if:

  • intraretinal cysts not associated with break of the inner retina
  • juxtafoveal telangiectasia
  • ring of increased B-FAF
  • vitelliform and pseudovitelliform lesions
  • history of diabetes, retinal vein occlusion, uveitis, CSR, AMD or any other retinal -disease potentially associated with intra or subretinal fluid
  • macular drusen
  • history of submacular hemorrhage
