Self-Examination Low-Cost Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (SELFF-OCT) for neovascular age-related macular degeneration: a cross-sectional diagnostic accuracy study by Peter Koch, Inke König, Johann Roider, Jan Tode, Konstantine Purtskhvanidze, Claus von der Burchard, Helge Sudkamp, Cristoph Ehlken, Moritz Moltmann, Britta Heimes, Michael Münst, Malte vom Endt, Timo Kepp, Dirk Theisen-Kunde, Gereon Hüttmann

“…All images were graded by at least 2 masked investigators in a reading centre.Primary outcome measure Rate of successful self-measurements.Secondary outcome measures Sensitivity and specificity of SELFF-OCT versus SD-OCT for different biomarkers and necessity for antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment.Results In 86% of all examined eyes, OCT self-acquisition resulted in interpretable retinal OCT volume scans. In these patients, the sensitivity for detection of anti-VEGF treatment necessity was 0.94 (95% CI 0.79 to 0.99) and specificity 0.95 (95% CI 0.82 to 0.99).Conclusions SELFF-OCT was used successfully for retinal self-examination in most patients, and it could become a valuable tool for retinal home monitoring in the future. …”

“…Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a vision-threatening disease and a common complication of surgery to correct rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Several models of the pathogenesis of this disease have been described with some of these models focusing on the role of inflammatory cells and other models focusing on the role of growth factors and cytokines in the vitreous which come into contact with intraretinal and retinal pigment epithelial cells. …”
