Aflibercept has the potential advantage of reducing capacity problems by allowing 2 monthly visits for patients with neovascular macular degeneration (nAMD) compared with monthly pro re nata regimens that are the most commonly used in the United Kingdom. This study aimed to report the visual outcomes achieved in routine clinical practice using the VEGF Trap-Eye: Investigation of Efficacy and Safety in Wet AMD (VIEW) protocol at 1 year and compare with trials data and other real-world reports.

CACNA2D4 (NM_172364) encodes the α2δ4 subunit of the photoreceptor voltage-gated calcium channels (Cav1.4), which modulate glutamate release from the photoreceptors to the bipolar cells.1 CACNA2D4 mutations have been associated with a rare recessive retinal cone dystrophy (RCD4, OMIM #610478),2 first described in 2 adult siblings with a homozygous truncating mutation in exon 25 of CACNA2D4: c.[2406C>A] (p.[Tyr802*]) associated with mildly reduced visual acuity (VA), photophobia, foveal pigment mottling, an electronegative scotopic electroretinogram (ERG) and markedly subnormal cone responses.

Despite surgical improvements, pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME) is the most common cause of decreased vision after cataract surgery and could lead to permanently impaired central vision owing to altered outer photoreceptor features. In this study, we aimed to determine the age- and sex-specific incidence of CME after primary uncomplicated phacoemulsification in community-based outpatient clinics in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France. The secondary objective was to assess the characteristics of CME, including time of onset and duration.
