Comparison of the Morphology of the Foveal Pit Between African and Caucasian Populations. Translational Vision Science & Technology, 9(5), Article 24. https://doi.org/10.1167/tvst.9.5.24

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to characterize foveal pit morphology in an African (Ghanaian) population, to compare it to that of a Caucasian group and to determine if it varied with age in the two populations. Methods: The depth, diamet... Read More about Comparison of the Morphology of the Foveal Pit Between African and Caucasian Populations.

Journal Article
Yeung, A. M., Wilde, C., Awad, M., Giannouladis, K., Lakshmanan, A., Dua, H., & Amoaku, W. M. (2020). Natural course of adult-onset vitelliform lesions in eyes with and without comorbid subretinal drusenoid deposits. International Ophthalmology, 40, 1501–1508. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10792-020-01319-2

Purpose Adult vitelliform lesions (AVL) are associated with age related macular degeneration (AMD) and subretinal drusenoid deposits (SRDD). We evaluated the natural course of AVL, assessing the influence of SRDD on disease progression, visual fun...
