Persistent placoid maculopathy
MONDO:0019973Persistent placoid maculopathy is characterized by white plaque-like lesions involving the macula but sparing the peripapillary areas of both eyes. It has been described in five patients. In contrast to patients with macular serpiginous choroiditis presenting with similar lesions, the five patients reported so far with persistent placoid maculopathy had good visual acuity until the onset of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) or pigmentary mottling. The macular lesions fade after several months or years, but the vascular anomalies persist leading to a loss of central vision.

Could stem cells restore sight in damaged eyes?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests whether injecting a person's own bone marrow stem cells into or near the eye can help treat various retinal and optic nerve diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and glaucoma. Participants receive stem cell injections via dif…

New eye scanner tested against gold standard for retina diagnosis
Diagnosis Recruiting nowThis study tests a new eye imaging device (VG200D OCT) that takes detailed pictures of the retina. It compares these images to standard dye-based images (FA/ICGA) to see if the new device works just as well. About 30 adults with retina problems will take part. The goal is to see …
